YouTube is cracking down on AI-generated true crime deepfakes

YouTube’s policy update will result in a strike that removes the content from a channel and also temporarily limits what a user can do on the platform. A first strike, for example, limits users from uploading videos for a week, among other things. If the policy is violated again within 90 days, penalties increase, with the eventual possibility of having the entire channel removed.

Platforms including YouTube have in recent months unveiled AI-driven creation tools, and along with them new policies around synthetic content that could confuse users. TikTok, for one, now requires creators to label AI-generated content as such. And YouTube itself announced a strict policy around AI voice clones of musicians — with another set of looser rules for everyone else.
