San Francisco: YouTube is bringing its new AI helper to smart TVs and game consoles. This means viewers can ask questions about videos without stopping them.
To get started, click the “Ask” button on your TV. You can use your remote to speak or pick from suggested questions. For example, you might ask, “What are the recipe ingredients?” or “Who sings this song?” Answers will appear right away.
Only some people over age 18 can use this right now. It works in English, Hindi, Spanish, Portuguese, and Korean.
People watch YouTube on TVs more than ever before. A Nielsen report says YouTube takes up 12.4 percent of TV time. That is more than Disney and Netflix.
Amazon and Roku are using similar AI tools on their devices. Netflix is testing an AI search feature, too.
YouTube is also making low-quality videos look clearer on TVs. The company has added comment summaries and improved search results. In January, YouTube said creators could make short videos using AI copies of themselves.
Last week, YouTube released a new app for the Apple Vision Pro. This app lets people watch videos on huge virtual screens in a fun, 3D space.
