YouTube has reshaped the world, from fame to freedom. But now our trips down the rabbit hole have started to become distorted. Robots threaten to erase the human connection that fuelled it, and hours of videos on YouTube are now generated by AI. Could YouTube eat itself?

To close this five part series, Sophia Smith Galer dives into the rising AI-generated content on the platform, featuring insights from YouTube鈥檚 Managing Director in the UK and Ireland Alison Lomax about the company's AI vision. And futurist Sinead Bovell imagines YouTube鈥檚 future - will it even survive 20 years from now?

It's the story of Youtube, told through the content creators are here now.
