Creators looking to play around with AI video tech are in for a Valentine's Day treat. YouTube Shorts has new AI video capabilities, thanks to Google's AI video model, Veo 2, being integrated into the video platform.

Google added Veo 2 to YouTube Shorts, enabling users to add AI video clips to Shorts. I played around with this a few times, mostly with cats eating planets (I wanted to see it). The results were not particularly convincing from a feline or astronomical perspective but I certainly ended up with a video that included the elements I described.

YouTube has added new generative AI video features that creators can use when making Shorts. The video platform announced that Google’s Veo 2 video model is being integrated into YouTube’s experimental Dream Screen feature, alongside allowing users to generate standalone video clips that can be added to Shorts.

YouTube Shorts will be getting an update to include Veo 2, Google's generative AI video creator as it pushes ahead with its AI plans.

YouTube is upgrading the YouTube Shorts experience with more generative AI features. Here’s the latest. The company introduced Dream Screen last year, which is a feature that lets people generate unique AI backgrounds for Shorts with just a text prompt.
