If you've uploaded a video to YouTube, there's a chance it's being used to train Google's AI. My latest scoop for CNBC: cnbc.com/2025/06/19/goo…

Google is training its AI video generation software Veo 3 on content from YouTube. If you’re a YouTube creator, there’s no way to opt out.

Chubby♨️ Intellectual infants cry foul when they have only themselves to blame. Zach Vallese another intellectual infant, just learned that Google has been abiding by the TOS for years upon years.

CNBC "spoke with multiple leading creators and IP professionals" and "none were aware or had been informed by YouTube that their content could be used to train Google’s AI models."

Google confirms it's using YouTube videos to train its AI tools — including Veo 3 • Says it's just a 'subset' — but even 1% of 20B videos is over 200M • Only creators and media companies with specific agreements are exempt — everyone else’s videos can be used to train AI

"What sets these creators apart from the traditional system is they can come up with an idea in a matter of days...and get it in front of their audience," said Dhar Mann CEO Sean Atkins. "That’s something that doesn’t happen in the traditional ecosystem." youtu.be/hWuIq0d9LKE?si…
