Google to roll out Ask YouTube AI search in U.S.

Google is adding an interactive AI search feature, Ask YouTube, to YouTube. Unveiled at Google I/O 2026 in California, it uses Gemini to find relevant videos, jump to the right segment and provide a written answer with related clips. Google said the goal is to make information easier to understand and faster to find. The initial rollout is limited to the United States this summer and may shift how creators optimise content for search.

Google said accuracy and history depth can vary, and watermarking is not foolproof.
