YouTube will release an AI-powered comment summarization feature for creators by March 15, 2025. The feature will use AI to analyze comments on videos and generate summaries of key discussion topics, questions, praise, and complaints. It will provide an overview of comment sentiment and themes that goes beyond basic statistics, showing AI capabilities on par with GPT-3 and above.

The comment summarization feature does not need to support all YouTube creators or videos initially, but must be made available for a significant subset, such as creators above a certain number of subscribers or views. 

Limited, low-level AI features that output only simple statistics or counts will not satisfy this claim.
