00:00YouTube has taken major action by shutting down two popular channels accused of spreading misleading,
00:06AI-generated movie trailers that had already reached millions of viewers.
00:10The move has been welcomed by film fans and industry insiders alike.
00:15Following an investigative report by entertainment news outlet Deadline,
00:19YouTube has terminated two controversial channels,
00:22KH Studios, based in Georgia, and Screen Culture, operating out of India.
00:27The channels were known for producing highly polished fake movie trailers
00:31created using a mix of existing film footage and artificial intelligence tools.
00:37These videos were often presented as exclusive first looks at upcoming blockbuster sequels
00:42and frequently ranked higher than official studio trailers.
00:46While many viewers eventually realized the trailers were fake,
00:50advances in generative AI technology have made such content increasingly difficult to distinguish from authentic footage.
00:57Initially, YouTube demonetized both channels.
01:01The creators later added disclaimers such as fan trailer or concept trailer,
01:06which briefly allowed monetization to resume.
01:09However, after those disclaimers were removed,
01:12YouTube took stronger action and permanently terminated the channels.
01:16The decision was widely praised online.
01:19One user told Deadline,
01:21The monster was defeated.
01:23Why this matters?
01:24According to Deadline,
01:25an AI-generated Superman trailer in 2024 was convincing enough to fool French national television,
01:32highlighting the growing risks of AI-driven misinformation.
01:36Concerns over fabricated content have intensified as social media platforms reduce
01:41safety measures like fact-checking partnerships.
01:45In October, a fake video falsely labeled as footage from Hurricane Melissa went viral,
01:50attracting massive viewership.
01:52Beyond misinformation, experts warn that generative AI poses a serious threat to creative jobs,
01:58particularly in the film and entertainment industries.
02:02Deadline also revealed that some film studios chose to collect revenue from these fake trailer
02:07channels rather than enforce copyright claims, raising ethical concerns about allowing third parties
02:13to exploit actors' likenesses.
02:15YouTube's crackdown sends a clear message that misleading AI-generated content will not be tolerated.
02:21The move could mark a turning point in how digital platforms handle synthetic media in the future.
