YouTube relocates AI content label to video player interface (indoneo.com)

• AI label now visible on the video player, not just description
• Applies to content classified as significantly altered by Google
• No provenance verification or transparency report published

"YouTube announced on May 27, 2026, that it is moving its AI disclosure label for photorealistic or significantly altered content from the video description to the player interface. For long-form videos, the label appears below the player; for Shorts, it appears as an on-screen overlay. The policy applies to content meeting Google's own "significant alteration" threshold. No provenance data or verification is provided. The change aligns with EU AI Act transparency obligations. No equivalent US federal mandate exists. Creators remain responsible for self-disclosure. No transparency report on detection rates has been published."
