They are using billions of videos that people have uploaded.
Some people who make these videos might not know that Google is using their content.
Google says they only use some videos and follow the rules.
But some people are worried that the rules aren't clear enough, and creators aren't getting paid for their videos being used.
It's like if someone used your drawings to learn how to draw, but you didn't know and weren't paid.

The AI model utilizes billions of videos from the platform.
