Altered or synthetic content disclosure
Definition
YouTube's requirement to label realistic AI-made or AI-altered content — for example a real person saying something they didn't, or a realistic event that never happened.
YouTube asks creators to disclose realistic content that was made or meaningfully altered with AI: making a real person appear to say or do something they didn't, altering footage of a real event or place, or generating a realistic scene that didn't occur. Clearly unrealistic content, effects and production help (AI for a script, title or thumbnail) don't need it (YouTube Help).
Through the API the flag is status.containsSyntheticMedia. SceneGen sets it on upload from your choice or its suggestion — see the disclosure guide.
