Tech & AI | July 5, 2024, 12:14 p.m.

YouTube has recently introduced an enhanced eraser tool that enables creators to delete copyrighted music from their videos while preserving other audio components. The upgraded tool, reported by TechCrunch this week, includes the Erase Song feature, which effectively mutes copyrighted music in content. Previously existing as a beta feature, the tool had faced accuracy issues. The newest version deploys an "AI-powered algorithm" to accurately identify and remove copyrighted songs without affecting other audio elements. However, there may be instances where the tool fails to completely eliminate copyrighted content, prompting creators to mute all sound in flagged sections of the video. Despite its advancements, the tool may not consistently yield flawless results. This new feature provides content creators with a more efficient and effective way to manage copyrighted material on their channels.
