YouTube continues to be the most popular online video-sharing platform, especially for long-format content. But it faces stiff competition from TikTok and Instagram, which have catapulted themselves with the rise of short-format content. Google now needs to explore ways to keep its audience coming back for more, and it seems to be turning to generative AI as the next big feature for the platform.
