YouTube Updates Monetisation Rules to Limit Low-Quality AI-Generated Content
YouTube is tightening its monetisation policies to target low-quality, repetitive, and inauthentic AI-generated content, while still allowing original, value-adding AI-assisted videos that meet disclosure requirements. This update, effective from July 14, renames the 'repetitious content' policy as the 'inauthentic content' policy. Despite Google and Alphabet promoting AI tools for content creation, many channels risk demonetisation or removal. Creators face challenges navigating these guidelines amid some confusion over the rules.
