YouTube constantly adds new features to its mobile, web, and TV apps to enhance user experience. Some of the Google-owned platform's changes, such as the recent decision to jack up the prices of grandfathered Premium accounts, haven't gone down well with longtime subscribers. Nevertheless, YouTube continues to push on, and the brains behind the operation continue to add new functionality focused on both creators and viewers. We've seen a handful of under-testing features being added to the streaming service recently, and the makers are now adding one more — AI-generated video summaries.

In a support page charting down the release of these experiments, the YouTube team says video summaries will be auto-generated in English only for now. These are designed to give users a "quick overview of what a video is about," per the company. The release note specifies these are not meant to replace the written summaries submitted by the creators themselves.

On Tuesday, senators from both parties expressed concerns about the potential for artificial intelligence to be used to create biological weapons.

In a hearing before a subcommittee of the Senate Judiciary Committee, Dario Amodei, chief executive of the AI company Anthropic, warned lawmakers that AI could enable unskilled bad actors to develop biological weapons.

As per him, some of the knowledge needed to produce biological weapons is not publicly available and requires specialized expertise. However, AI tools can now fill in some of those gaps.
