YouTube CEO announces Google’s Veo 3 AI video tech is coming to Shorts
Table of Contents
Just last month, Google unveiled its next iteration of video AI with Veo 3 as its creations flooded the web. With attempts to minimize misinformation by watermarking its AI-generated videos, the company is now implementing the next generation of AI into YouTube Shorts as an upgrade to Veo 2, which they were already using.
YouTube CEO Neal Mohan announced this new feature at the Cannes Lions 2025 Festival of Creativity. Commenting on the fact that “creators are showing us what the future looks like: AI.” YouTube is adding these features to empower human creativity and expand on what they provide to help.

Coming later this summer to the app, the inclusion of Veo 3 will let creators use Dream Screen to add AI-generated backgrounds and video clips for Shorts. It doesn’t say if people will have to pay for its use, considering standalone usage has a price to it, but it will let creators utilize the improvements that Veo 3 brings. This includes improved video quality and even adds sound.
We promise that the actual PC Guide office looks much nicer than what Google Veo 3 thinks.
AI on YouTube and the coming years
Alongside adding the new Veo version to YouTube shorts, it also has plenty of more uses for the technology. One of which is using it for Auto Dubbing and translating videos, it already works across nine different languages, and 11 more are coming soon, as a way to expand the audiences for creators’ videos. With 20 million videos already dubbed, it expects plenty more to take advantage of it.
Considering it’s been 20 years of YouTube, it’s another method for it to look at expansion and improving on what it already has to offer. Neal Mohan talks of how he expects creators will flip formats, blend genres, and push deeper into the mainstream in the next 20 years for the platform, with AI technology behind it to push the limits of human creativity. We doubt that everyone will be too pleased to see even more AI making its way into content creation, but at least YouTube is being transparent.
