YouTube launches AI avatars for Shorts creators that look and sound like you

YouTube has introduced AI avatars for Shorts creators, allowing them to create photorealistic digital versions of themselves to use in short video clips. The tool aims to give creators more control over their digital identity and streamline content creation by using avatars instead of filming themselves repeatedly. Setting up an avatar involves capturing a live selfie and voice recording, with the system generating a realistic digital version for users to use in their Shorts. Creators can easily create content by typing prompts and letting the AI generate clips, with the option to add their avatar to existing Shorts.
