Google has introduced an AI-generated search results feature on YouTube, initially available to Premium subscribers. The new feature offers a collection of relevant videos with an AI summary of each, allowing users to tap into video thumbnails for playback. This expansion follows Google’s focus on zero-click experiences and includes features like AI Overviews in search.
The AI results carousel is currently limited to Premium subscribers and can be enabled on YouTube’s experimental page. However, it’s expected that this feature will become more widely available. By prioritizing AI-generated content at the top of search results, Google aims to drive user interaction with its technology.
The rollout may have implications for creators, as users might prefer interacting with the AI carousel instead of individual videos. This could make it challenging for channels to grow and earn revenue from their content, potentially benefiting YouTube’s own advertising interests.
