YouTube is testing a new feature that uses artificial intelligence to generate summaries of videos. The summaries are designed to give users a quick overview of what a video is about, without having to watch the entire thing.
The summaries are currently being tested with a limited number of English-language videos. They appear on YouTube’s watch and search pages and are intended to provide a brief overview of a video’s content without replacing its existing human-written description.
The summaries are generated by a machine learning model that has been trained on a large corpus of YouTube videos. The model learns to identify the key points of a video and then summarizes them in a concise and informative way.
The summaries are still under development, but they have the potential to be a valuable tool for users who want to quickly get the gist of a video without having to watch the whole thing. For example, if you’re looking for a video on how to change a tire, you could read the summary to see if it covers the steps you need to know.
