YouTube CEO Neal Mohan views AI not as a replacement for human creativity, but as a tool to enhance it. He emphasized that AI features are designed to support creators in building their audience and businesses more efficiently.
“And the way that I think about AI is in that context, which is, how can we use the latest and greatest technology, uh, you know, we work with, uh, companies like Google DeepMind every single day to make that stage even better.”
“And so it's really about doing what YouTube does, helping creators build an audience and then build a business, but to do it more efficiently and do it faster.”
“And so a lot of those features and products that you just described, including some of them, it's kind of hot off the press, that, uh, that are on YouTube, uh, are powered by AI, but they're doing things that are core to the creator business.”
