Learn about the AI-powered carousel of search results on YouTube

YouTube is experimenting with an AI-powered carousel of results to enhance video discovery when searching on YouTube. For certain categorical, information-seeking queries, users may see an AI-powered carousel of videos, concise topic descriptions, and other relevant information that directs viewers to specific segments of YouTube videos when they look up certain queries. This feature aims to improve navigation and understanding of search results, allowing users to quickly find the most relevant content.

For example, if you search for “things to do in Paris,” you may see an AI-powered carousel of results that highlights clips from videos about topics related to your search, such as the best cafes or museums to visit in the city. It will also include concise descriptions of the topics, and directs you to relevant videos on YouTube to learn more.
