Google DeepMind announced this Wednesday (24) a partnership with YouTube to implement the Flamingo visual language model on the platform. THEREHelps create metadata and generate descriptions for YouTube Shortsto make it easier for users to find videos.

DeepMind is part of the Alphabet group, which is also in charge of Google, building what is called Google DeepMind, a research front focused on building and implementing AI. In the post, DeepMind says the partnership with YouTube aims to improve text descriptions, and the Flamingo artificial intelligence “better categorize videos and match search results with viewers’ queries“.

In the Twitter post above, you can see how Flamingo will create video descriptions for YouTube Shorts. According to the company, shorts often lack useful descriptions and titles, making them difficult to find in search engines. ABOUT Flamingo will create automatic descriptions for hundreds of millions of videospushing several shorts across the platform. DeepMind commented: “Our powerful Flamingo visual language model changes the way you watch YouTube Shorts“.

AI will make life easier for creators

According to Todd Sherman, director of product management for YouTube Shorts, Flamingo will solve a real problem with YouTube Shorts. According to him, many creators don’t add metadata to videos because the creation process is easier.

Flamingo’s visual language model creates metadata so that the YouTube system can distribute Shorts in a way that is more in line with the user’s preferences. “This Flamingo model — the ability to understand these videos and give us descriptive text — is very, very valuable in helping our systems that are already looking for this metadata,” Sherman told The Verge. The automatically generated description will comply with company protocols and platform policies, which will avoid problems when creating text.

Also, the description will always promote shorts in a positive light with the intention of helping the creator. “It is highly unlikely that descriptive text will be generated that will somehow create a video in poor lighting. This is not at all the result we expect.“. If it works as intended, Flamingo should help, and in many ways, in the production of content from hundreds of creators around the world.
