Google Trains Veo 3 on YouTube Videos 🎥🤖

Google is using YouTube videos, yes, the ones uploaded by everyday creators, to train its fancy new AI models like Veo 3.

🚨Breaking News:
Google confirmed it's using a subset of YouTube's 20 billion videos to train Veo 3 and Gemini, raising IP concerns.

⚡Wire Simplified:

• Veo 3 creates high-quality AI-generated videos using YouTube footage as training data.

• Creators can’t opt out of Google’s internal training, only third party ones like Amazon or Nvidia.

• Some AI-generated clips closely mimic real YouTube videos, per analysis.

• YouTube says it has protections, but creators say they were never clearly informed.

• Google offers legal protection for Veo 3 users if copyright issues arise.

✔️Straight to the Point:
Google is training AI on your old YouTube uploads. It’s legal-ish, but creators are worried they're training their own competition.

• So they hired Daniel Gross and his VC partner Nat Friedman instead.

• Both will now work under Meta’s new AGI boss, Alexandr Wang.
