Child experts and advocates ask Google to block AI videos
Technology
More than 200 child experts and advocacy groups are asking Google to make AI-made videos from YouTube and YouTube Kids unavailable to young viewers.
In a letter to Google's and YouTube's CEOs, some of it is referred to as "AI slop," saying it lacks educational value and could mess with kids' attention spans or make it harder for them to tell what is real.
Kids vulnerable amid YouTube label skepticism
The group pointed out that kids are especially at risk because they are not great at spotting low-quality or misleading information.
YouTube says it already labels AI-generated content and tries to keep low-quality content from spreading.
Still, many experts are not convinced these steps are enough.
