Social media company YouTube has announced its plan to integrate generative AI into YouTube Shorts. In a blog post, YouTube confirmed that users will be able to use Google’s VEO to create backgrounds for their Shorts.
“We’ll start integrating Google DeepMind’s most capable model for generating video, Veo, into YouTube Shorts later this year”, the post stated.
Google also confirmed this development, stating. “Over the next few months, we’re bringing our advanced generative AI models, Veo and Imagen 3, to YouTube creators through Dream Screen”.
In 2023, YouTube introduced Dream Screen, an AI tool that allows users to create backgrounds for short content via text prompts. With the integration of VEO, the company claims users will be able to generate “even more incredible video backgrounds” and visualize improbable concepts.

Additionally, YouTube plans to add a feature that can generate 6-second video clips with the help of VEO. The AI will create images in 4 images in different styles from a single text prompt. Users can then choose one of the images and the AI will create a 6-second clip with the same art style. However, this feature will not be available until 2025.
The videos generated with the help of AI will have a watermark created by SynthID, another one of Google’s creations. YouTube also plans on labeling Shorts that feature AI-generated content.
