Did Google use YouTube videos to train its new AI video model, Veo?

Google’s new Veo model for generating AI videos was trained on “some YouTube content,” the tech giant said.

“There are a variety of AI models used and these models are trained on publicly available content and data from the internet as well as some YouTube content,” Johanna Voolich, the chief product officer at YouTube, said during a press briefing held on Tuesday, September 24.

“We’ve used content on YouTube for many years to make YouTube better for viewers and creators,” Voolich added.
