YouTube’s slow, careful integration of GenAI technologies into its mainstream services continues. It already has a feature called ‘Dream Screen’ in YouTube Shorts for people to make AI backgrounds. Now YouTube is adding the latest video-generation model from Google’s DeepMind AI team, Veo 2, to generate entire video clips for use in Shorts.
“Simply use a text prompt to generate a video clip that fits perfectly into your narrative, or create a whole new world of content,” exhorted its blog post. “Veo 2 understands real-world physics and human movement better, making its output more detailed and realistic. You can even specify a style, lens, or cinematic effect.”
In keeping with the company’s policies, the resulting footage will be watermarked and labelled as AI-generated. For now, Veo 2 is available in Shorts in the US, Canada, Australia and New Zealand.
