    Today on Video Marketing Madness - YouTube AI Notification Requirements. Ray talks about the new information request from YouTube when uploading videos.

    Here's what YouTube asks when uploading a video and this comes from the YouTube back office:

    "Do any of the following describe your content?

    Makes a real person appear to say or do something they didn't say or do

    Alters footage of a real event or place

    Generates a realistic-looking scene that didn't actually occur

    Yes/ No

    "To follow YouTube's policy, you're required to tell us if your content is altered or synthetic and seems real. This includes realistic sounds or visuals made with AI or other tools. Selecting "Yes" adds a label to your content. "
