With billions of YouTube videos at its disposal, Google has reportedly trained AI models like Veo 3 and Gemini using user-generated content without their awareness, approval, or compensation

Google is using YouTube videos to train its Veo 3 and Gemini AI models according to CNBC, and creators cant opt-out from it.

At the heart of Veo 3 lies a complex web of generative models that have been trained on millions of video clips and image frames. When a user types a prompt, the system analyzes the language to understand the setting, tone, motion, and atmosphere. It then uses deep learning to construct a sequence of frames that plays like a real video.
