YouTube has introduced a new conversational AI feature that can respond to queries related to the video being viewed. This feature is exclusive to YouTube Premium subscribers using an Android device.
An artificial intelligence tool is introduced on YouTube.
YouTube had announced its plan to introduce a conversational AI tool by the end of the previous year, but there have been no updates on its progress. The idea was to develop a separate tool enabling users to ask questions about the video while watching it.
YouTube has officially confirmed that users in the United States will soon have access to this conversational AI tool on their devices. The feature will initially be available to YouTube Premium members only, with no details provided on potential expansion to other users in the US or globally. Information about the availability of this functionality in Brazil is still pending.
The official Twitter account for YouTube (X) also verified the new feature.
Our conversational AI tool will now be available to all YouTube Premium members in the US who use Android devices. You can utilize it to delve deeper into the content you enjoy by inquiring about what you are currently watching or requesting similar video suggestions.
The new AI functionality is subtly integrated into the YouTube app, with the comment icon on Android showing an additional page indicator. Swiping left on the comment card reveals a new “Ask” option.
You can touch the card to access a page that looks like a typical chatbot interface. When you hit “Resume video,” the instruction is quickly added to the chatbot, creating a summary of the YouTube AI model, which is believed to be connected to Gemini.
The Supreme Court (STF) received reports from Anatel and the Federal Police (PF) this week regarding individuals who accessed Twitter/X during the platform’s block in Brazil. Despite Minister Alexandre de Moraes’s suspension order, the social network was still being accessed. Authorities are now working to identify those who circumvented the restriction, possibly through VPN services.
The Federal Police are charting the entry points.
The Federal Police are monitoring platform access with STF approval, using Anatel’s data to track users who circumvented the block, potentially facing fines or legal consequences.
The Twitter/X blockade is one of several actions taken against Elon Musk’s company, which shut down its office in Brazil in August, claiming persecution by Minister Alexandre de Moraes. Musk has appointed a legal representative in Brazil as mandated by the Supreme Court, but the validation process is ongoing.
Twitter/X was blocked in the country at the end of August for failing to comply with STF requirements, including the removal of extremist profiles and the absence of a legal representative in Brazil. The platform, owned by Elon Musk, was fined R $ 5 million for not following the court order. Investigations are also underway regarding the IP change that briefly restored access to the network in the country.
X has submitted a request to resume operations in Brazil after resolving legal issues with the Supreme Court, including paying fines, freezing accounts, and appointing a legal representative in the country. Approval from Minister Alexandre de Moraes is now awaited for X to resume operations.
