  • YouTube is rolling out an AI-powered search results carousel for Premium members on the mobile app.
  • This carousel may appear when you search for queries related to shopping, places, or things to do.
  • The platform’s conversational AI tool is also opening up to some non-Premium users in the US.

YouTube is getting two AI-related updates to make it easier for users to find what they’re looking for and get more information. One of these updates is exclusive for Premium members, while the other is a previously exclusive feature that’s now opening up to some non-Premium users.

In a blog post, YouTube revealed it’s introducing a new AI-powered search results carousel to the mobile app. This feature will generate relevant video suggestions and topic descriptions when you perform a search. As the company explains, this carousel won’t appear on every search, but you may see it pop up for queries related to shopping, places, or things to do in a specific location.
