YouTube unveils new AI tool to help users reclaim their hacked accounts

YouTube creators can now regain access to their hacked channels with the help of an AI chatbot. “The new support assistant will guide impacted users through re-securing their login and helping them recover their account as the very first step after it’s been hacked,” the video-sharing platform said in an announcement on Wednesday, August 21.

However, the AI assistant feature is only available in English at the moment. Additionally, only a few creators have access to “certain troubleshooting features” currently though YouTube says that it is looking to make the feature available to all users soon.
