YouTube launches AI chatbot to assist hacked creators

YouTube has introduced a new AI-powered support chatbot called the "hacked channel assistant" to help creators recover their accounts after being hacked and secure them against future breaches.

Currently available only in English and for a limited number of users, the assistant guides affected YouTube creators through a series of questions to help secure their Google login, undo any changes made by the hacker, and protect their channel from further attacks.

YouTube plans to expand access to this feature for all creators in the future.
