YouTube has been constantly evolving by introducing new features and tweaks, making the streaming experience more seamless for users and catering to the issues that come up when engaging with the platform. Many content creators struggle to protect their accounts from being hacked, and if such an incident does occur, there is usually little that can be done to recover it, or the process seems to be cumbersome. In an attempt to find a solution to this issue, the streaming platform has found a way to make account recovery less of a hassle through AI support.
YouTube has introduced a new AI support chatbot to help creators recover their hacked channels
Many creators in the past had to go through tedious ways to recover their hijacked YouTube channels as there was no straightforward way to retrieve access to compromised accounts. YouTube has now announced a new AI assistant feature to help recover hacked channels.
It can be found on Google's support page, where the AI chatbot is listed as a troubleshooting tool and can be accessed through YouTube's Help Center. It involves a series of questions from the compromised creators to guide them in recovering their Google logins and restoring any changes made to their YouTube channels. The two primary steps involved are securing the creator's Google account and reverting any undesirable changes made to it. It would also add more layers of protection to user accounts to make it harder for hackers to access them.
While the support assistant is only available in English, and access is currently limited to certain creators, YouTube eventually plans to make the troubleshooting feature available to all its users. This feature would address a huge issue faced by limited people, but the impact of which is adverse, and the recovery process is either nonexistent or too arduous, causing YouTube users who have to deal with such a situation to face a lot of distress.
Streaming platforms are slowly transitioning to AI tools for advanced capabilities and features, and users can benefit from added security through features such as troubleshooting help from YouTube. We are yet to see if premium YouTube accounts will be offered more advanced help and dedicated features when the tool is rolled out to the masses. For now, content creators can look forward to YouTube handling the cumbersome processes and helping it deal with unwanted situations.
