YouTube experiments with AI-powered comment summaries and chatbot for videos

YouTube has introduced experimental AI features for its Premium subscribers, aiming to enhance user experience.

The first feature involves AI-generated comment summaries, which will organize comments into easily digestible themes on select videos in English with large comment sections. Users can tap on topics to view associated comments, and creators can use this tool to manage discussions around their videos more effectively.

The second feature introduces a conversational AI chatbot that provides information and answers questions related to the video content without interrupting playback. This chatbot, powered by large language models, allows users to engage more deeply with the video content and seek recommendations.

While these features are opt-in and only available to YouTube Premium subscribers. Users can expect to see these experimental features in action in the coming weeks as YouTube continues to refine its AI-driven capabilities.
