Have you ever watched a YouTube video only to find that the majority of it is uninteresting and not what you expected?
YouTube is currently testing an artificial intelligence system that will allow YouTube Premium subscribers to instantly jump to the most important part of a video. As Google hopes, this new function will allow you to skip over extensive sections that are irrelevant to what you are looking for.
Google already utilizes comparable AI techniques to assist you in finding relevant bits of videos in Google searches. Looking for information on how to repair certain sections of your car?

Google is undoubtedly hoping that this feature would encourage more YouTube viewers to pay for YouTube Premium.
