YouTube's new rules curb repetitive AI content. That won't eliminate the threat for creators
Even as YouTube's new rules seek to curb content mass-produced with artificial intelligence (AI) tools, the large volume of such repetitive videos and audio is still a risk for Indian creators. 'We have lately seen a massive increase in the posting of pure AI-generated content, especially video. We have seen creators also use the same as a shortcut, although exact numbers vary widely depending on platform moderation policies," said Sunder Venkatraman, chief business officer at short video app Josh. 'AI can enhance creativity and streamline content production, but its proliferation risks overshadow original creator efforts, potentially diminishing their visibility and income." The rise of AI introduces complexities in preserving creators' rights and ensuring fair rewards for original content, Venkatraman added. Key challenges include accurately identifying subtle forms of AI manipulation and preventing inadvertent promotion of duplicated content, he said. Also read: Hollywood strikes back in Indian cinemas, but the real test lies ahead There has been a massive increase in AI-generated content, especially video, in India. According to creators and industry executives, unchecked growth of AI-driven content could reduce earnings for original creators by about 15-20% due to diluted user engagement. YouTube is cracking down on mass-produced or repetitive content, including AI-generated videos, especially those that may mimic trends without adding any original view or commentary. The updated monetization policy is meant to emphasise creators' originality and authenticity, even if they do use some AI tools. But the final product must reflect their own perspective and value. Calling the YouTube move one of the first serious steps in tackling AI content produced at scale, Ayushi Rai, an entertainment creator, said a noticeable chunk, especially in voiceovers and podcast script-based reels, is now AI-generated or at least AI-assisted. 'The problem isn't just about volume; it's about speed and scale. AI can churn out 10 videos in the time it takes a human creator to make one. Which makes discovery harder, engagement drops, and that directly affects creator revenue." Content creation, while often glamourized, is a deeply demanding profession. With AI-powered automation, it has become harder for human creators to break through the algorithm and gain the views and engagement they deserve, according to Dhananjay Bhosale, a tech creator. 'That in turn affects brand deals, which many of us rely on for income. Meta asks creators to declare if their content has used AI in any form. Twitter offers context labels or fact-checking, especially for controversial, political, or war-related content, flagging AI-generated media when possible to prevent its spread. However, most platforms still lack robust tools to reliably detect AI-generated content. Every day, new models emerge with even more realistic visuals and voices," Bhosale said. Also read: Can Disneyland work in India? Theme parks face hurdles but show future promise A ShareChat spokesperson said, 'We are witnessing strong adoption of AI tools among our creators across both short videos and micro-dramas. Our sophisticated content moderation systems continue to ensure that this growing wave of AI-generated content aligns with our community standards." While agreeing that a system of checks and balances is now beginning to come into place, Dipankar Mukherjee, co-founder of AI-powered StudioBlo said such content produced at scale does not simply lead to a loss of eyeballs, but also audience trust. Some industry experts said the misuse of AI can go beyond just denting opportunities for original work. These tools can help create misleading content, where creators can make false claims to have been in places or with people, for publicity, according to Rahul Regulapati, founder of Galleri5, a platform for AI-powered marketing solutions. Umesh Bude, chief technology officer at Pocket Entertainment, said, 'We are at a transformative juncture in the content ecosystem, where AI-generated content is becoming increasingly prevalent across platforms. There's no doubt that AI is contributing to a surge in content volume, both audio and video. While this opens up exciting possibilities, it also brings into focus the importance of originality and creative integrity. Bude said the primary challenge is distinguishing between purely synthetic media and human-led, AI-augmented creation. 'We believe that platforms that successfully champion the latter will not only foster the most vibrant creator communities but also become the most engaging for the end users."

No call between PM Modi, Trump during Operation Sindoor, trade not discussed: S Jaishankar
External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar on Monday told Parliament that there was no phone call between Prime Minister Narendra Modi and United States President Donald Trump during Operation Sindoor. 'I want to make two things clear: one, at no stage in any conversation with the US, was there any linkage with trade and what was going on,' Jaishankar said during a debate in the Lok Sabha on the Pahalgam terror attack and the four-day India-Pakistan conflict. 'Secondly, there was no call between the Prime Minister and President Trump from April 22, when President Trump called up to convey his sympathy, and June 17 when he called up the PM in Canada to explain why he could not meet him,' he added. The external affairs minister's remark came against the backdrop of Trump repeatedly claiming that he helped India and Pakistan settle the tensions. The US president has also claimed that he pressured both countries into accepting the ceasefire by threatening to stop trade with them. New Delhi has rejected Trump's assertions. Jaishankar also said that Operation Sindoor had ensured that terrorists would no longer be treated as proxies, adding that the military action created a 'new normal' by conveying that cross-border terror attacks from Pakistan would draw an 'appropriate response'. All issues with Pakistan would be settled through bilateral means, the minister said. 'The challenge of cross-border terrorism continues but Operation Sindoor marks a new phase,' he added. The minister said that this 'new normal' had five points. 'One, terrorists will not be treated as proxies; two, cross-border terrorism will get an appropriate response; three, terror and talks are not possible together – there will only be talks on terror,' he said. This would also entail not yielding to 'nuclear blackmail', Jaishankar said. Reiterating comments made by Modi after Operation Sindoor in May, Jaishankar added: 'Finally, terror and good neighbourliness cannot co-exist, blood and water cannot flow together. This is our position.' Earlier during the debate on Monday, Defence Minister Rajnath Singh told the Lok Sabha that it was ' absolutely wrong ' to claim that India halted Operation Sindoor under any pressure. Singh said that India decided to pause its action against the terror camps in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir as it had achieved its political and military objectives. The defence minister also said that nine terror camps were destroyed at the start of the operation of May 7, and that India has proof of damage caused inside Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir. Tensions between New Delhi and Islamabad escalated on May 7 when the Indian military carried out strikes – codenamed Operation Sindoor – on what it claimed were terrorist camps in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir. The strikes were in response to the terror attack in Jammu and Kashmir's Pahalgam, which killed 26 persons on April 22. The Pakistan Army retaliated to Indian strikes by repeatedly shelling Indian villages along the Line of Control in Jammu and Kashmir. At least 22 Indian civilians and eight defence personnel were killed in the shelling. India and Pakistan on May 10 reached an 'understanding' to halt firing following the conflict. New Delhi had announced the decision to stop military action minutes after Trump claimed on social media that India and Pakistan had agreed to the ceasefire. The US president had claimed that the ceasefire talks were mediated by Washington. However, the Indian Ministry of Information and Broadcasting had said that the decision to stop the firing was 'worked out directly between the two countries', a position that New Delhi has maintained. Ahead of the Parliament session, the Congress had demanded discussions on a range of matters, including Trump's repeated claims of having brokered the ceasefire.
