Can AI Videos Be Monetized on YouTube?
As a content creator and someone who has been writing about YouTube algorithm and updates for the past two years, I, Usman Bajwa, often get one big question from new YouTubers: Can AI videos be monetized on YouTube? The answer is yes—but only if you follow YouTube’s policies carefully. In this article, I’ll explain everything you need to know in simple words.
What Are AI Videos?
AI videos are videos created using artificial intelligence tools like text-to-video generators, voiceovers, or image animations. These videos can include educational explainers, news updates, storytelling, product reviews, and more. Some creators also use AI tools to help script, edit, or narrate their videos.
But just because a video is made using AI doesn’t automatically mean it can be monetized. YouTube has very clear rules about this.

Can YouTube Monetize AI Content?
Yes, YouTube can monetize AI videos, but only if the content follows its Monetization Policies and Community Guidelines. If the video is helpful, original, and adds value to the viewer, it can be monetized even if it’s made with AI. Here's a reply of YouTube team to me about this monitization policy
However, if your video is low-quality, reused, or feels robotic with no human touch, YouTube may reject it from monetization.
What Kind of AI Videos Are Not Monetized?
From my experience and research as someone focused on YouTube updates, here are some types of AI content that YouTube does not usually allow for monetization:
• Videos with only auto-generated voices and no editing or creative input
• Content copied from other channels and rephrased by AI
• Repetitive content that has no real value
• Text-to-video uploads without human effort or uniqueness
YouTube wants originality. Even if you're using AI, you need to put your own creativity into the video. Add your thoughts, editing style, or unique storytelling.

How to Make AI Videos Eligible for Monetization?
To make sure your AI videos are monetized, you must make them look and feel like real content created by a human. Here’s how I advise creators:
> Use AI tools only as a support, not the full creator
>Add your voice or commentary
>Edit the video with your own touches—transitions, background music, images, etc.
>Share something new or helpful in every video
>Make sure your video has a clear title, description, and tags
When YouTube reviews your channel for monetization, they check if you’re adding value and not just publishing quick, low-effort videos.
Can YouTube Detect AI-Generated Content?
Yes, YouTube’s system is becoming smart. It can detect robotic voiceovers, repetitive video formats, and copied AI-generated scripts. YouTube uses both human reviewers and algorithms to decide if your content is monetizable.

So, if you're just copying and pasting AI results without creativity, it will most likely get rejected. But if you're using AI the right way—like for script ideas, voice-over help, or animation support—you’re in a safe zone.
