Report warns of ‘AI slop’ videos targeting babies on YouTube Kids
Summary
An investigation cited by The Indian Express finds that some YouTube creators are flooding YouTube Kids with low‑effort, AI‑generated videos aimed at children under two, raising concerns about developmental impacts and deceptive ‘educational’ claims. Experts quoted in the report say generative AI enables creators to mass‑produce poor‑quality content and AI voiceovers at scale, outpacing YouTube’s moderation efforts and exploiting gaps in platform rules.
