Google is rolling out a new AI tool to help secure YouTube accounts against hacking.
Google has introduced a new AI-powered chat assistant to help YouTube creators recover hacked accounts. Currently, in testing, the tool is accessible to select users and aims to guide them through securing their accounts. The AI assistant will assist affected users by helping them regain control of their login details and reverse any changes made by hackers. Presently, the feature supports only the English language, but there are plans to expand its availability.
To use the new tool, users must visit the YouTube Help web page and log into their Google Account. They will then find the option to ‘Recover a hacked YouTube channel’ under the Help Centre menu. This new option opens a chat window with the AI assistant, who will guide them through securing their accounts.
Google’s latest innovation reflects its ongoing commitment to enhancing user security. Although the tool is in its early stages, efforts are being made to make it available to all YouTube creators.
As cyber threats evolve, Google’s AI assistant represents an important step forward in providing robust security solutions. The initiative shows the company’s dedication to protecting its users’ online presence.
