YouTube is expanding its Creator Music feature with new AI features, including an AI-dubbing tool, to help creators find and use music in their videos more easily.
Starting early next year, YouTube will launch a new feature that will work like a music concierge. Creators can simply type in a description of the video they are working on, such as the length or type of song they are looking for, and the Creator Music tool will suggest the right track at the right price.
This is a significant improvement over the current system, which requires creators to search for songs by title, artist, or genre. The new AI-powered feature will save creators time and help them find the perfect music for their videos more easily.
In addition, YouTube is also introducing an AI-dubbing tool called Aloud, which will be integrated into YouTube Studio. Aloud allows creators to generate a dub of their video in another language with just one click. This can be a huge time-saver for creators who want to reach a global audience.
Aloud is currently testing with select creators and will be open to more creators next year. YouTube previously announced its plans to integrate Aloud with YouTube at VidCon earlier this year.
The new AI features in Creator Music are part of YouTube’s broader effort to make it easier for creators to produce high-quality content. YouTube is also launching a new creator app and a generative AI feature for Shorts.
The new AI features in Creator Music are a welcome addition for creators. They will make it easier for creators to find and use music in their videos, which can help them to produce more engaging and popular content.

TikTok is taking its cultural influence to the next level: The short-form video platform announced Monday that it will host its first-ever TikTok Awards show in the United States, marking a major step in its evolution from a social media app into a full-fledged entertainment powerhouse.
The show – featuring categories like “Creator of the Year,” “Video of the Year,” “Muse of the Year,” and “Breakthrough Artist of the Year” – will be held on December 18 at the Hollywood Palladium in Los Angeles. Fans everywhere will be able to watch the extravaganza live via the TikTok app and on Tubi, with on-demand viewing available on Tubi the following day.
Unlike Instagram’s recently launched “Ring” awards, TikTok’s event embraces a classic Hollywood-style ceremony, replete with a red carpet, live performances, and an in-person audience filled with hundreds of top creators.
Voting will take place via the ‘Favorite of 2025’ voting portal within the app, starting November 18, making this a truly community-driven celebration, highlighting creators who have shaped culture on TikTok in 2025.
Celebrating Creativity Across Cultures
Although this marks TikTok’s first awards show in the U.S., the company has already hosted successful versions in Germany, Mexico, Korea, and other countries — each designed to recognize local talent and viral content. Hosting a major event in Los Angeles underlines the growing role of TikTok in the global entertainment ecosystem, becoming the bridge between traditional media and digital creativity.
Meet the Nominees
Standout nominees for “Creator of the Year” include viral sensations adamw, alixearle, brookemonk_, keith_lee125, and kristy.sarah, who have each gained millions of followers through their respective uses of relatable humor, lifestyle content, and creative storytelling.
Then there’s the “Breakthrough Artist of the Year” category, which includes alexwarren, katseyeworld, laufey, ravynlenae, and sombr-all rising musical talents whose sounds have defined TikTok’s ever-changing musical landscape.
The other notable categories are “Storyteller of the Year,” “TikTok for Good Award,” “MVP of the Year,” “Okay Slay Award,” and “TikTok LIVE Creator of the Year.” The full list of nominees can be found on the official announcement post of TikTok.
Beyond an App: A Cultural Powerhouse
TikTok’s foray into the awards circuit signals its ambition to establish itself as a cultural tastemaker, not just a social platform. According to the company, the event will put a spotlight on creators across fashion, beauty, sports, film, and entertainment, highlighting the diversity and innovation that define the TikTok community.
“The trophies up on stage will beam a colorful glow upon the creators defining this new era of culture,” TikTok said in its announcement, adding that the awards will celebrate creativity in all its forms, from viral trends to artistic innovation. With its first U.S. awards show, TikTok is sending a clear message: it’s no longer just about short videos; it’s a central stage for the next generation of entertainment, artistry, and cultural influence.
Meta is pushing deeper into AI territory with new AI-editing tools in Instagram Stories, where users can edit images and videos simply by typing in what they want to modify. From hair color to special effects, the feature upends the possibilities of creators and regular users alike to personalize their content. Instagram Stories Meta AI editing tools
Text Prompts Meet Visual Creativity
Until now, Instagram’s AI editing tools were primarily accessible through Meta AI’s chatbot, which required users to interact via direct messages. With this latest integration, however, AI editing becomes native to Stories, allowing anyone to make instant visual edits using plain language commands.
These new edit features come under the “Restyle” menu that can be accessed using the paintbrush icon in Instagram Stories. One can type commands such as “give me a sunset background,” “remove the person in the corner,” or “color my hair pink.” The AI carries out the edit one wants within seconds.
Meta suggests that users only have three primary actions to select from — Add, Remove, or Change — while specifying what they’d like to alter. The AI will automatically add objects, alter appearances, or completely restyle the photo based on what they’ve described.
Preset Effects and Dynamic Video Edits
In addition to custom prompts, Instagram also has pre-select AI effects that can beautify or stylize posts. Filters like sunglasses, a denim jacket, or even a watercolor art effect can be applied.
On video content, the feature does even better — creators are able to superimpose atmospheric effects like falling snow, glowing embers, or cinematic lighting, which makes Stories appear more polished and professional without the necessity of using editing apps.
Privacy and AI Usage Terms
While the new features enable creativity, they come with privacy implications. Being used to introduce users to Meta’s Terms of Service for AI, which allow the company to “analyze photos and videos, including facial data, to make AI better.” According to Meta, it allows its systems to “summarize image contents, edit images, and generate new content based on the image.”
Critics have also had concerns regarding the ways in which such data might be used to train Meta’s broader AI models, though the company has sworn to remain committed to responsible innovation and transparency.
Meta’s Expanding AI Push
The release of AI editing software is just part of Meta’s overall strategy to roll out artificial intelligence on every platform it has, from Facebook and Instagram to WhatsApp. Recently, Meta began beta-testing a “Write with Meta AI” feature, which helps users compose intelligent or engaging comments under Instagram posts.
Meanwhile, Meta’s separate Meta AI app — with its chatbot and new “Vibes” AI-generated video stream — has been picking up steam. According to Similarweb estimates, iOS and Android daily active users rose from 775,000 to 2.7 million over a four-week span as of October 17.
Protecting Younger Users
As a response to increasing complaints from regulators and parents, Meta has also added new parental tools for its AI features. Parents may now shut off chats with AI characters and filter topics that their teens have with the chatbot to provide a safer online environment.
With these new instruments, Instagram is not only emerging as a social network but a creative platform fueled by generative AI. With Meta, OpenAI, and Google competing for leadership, this launch shows how AI is becoming more a part of the social fabric of our era — blurring the line between creativity, technology, and self-expression.
