YouTube stated that it has incorporated safeguards within the AI tool to ensure it does not generate inappropriate content and follows the platform's Community Guidelines. Dream Screen cannot be used to generate photorealistic images of identifiable people to reduce the risk of deepfakes.

In a September blog post, YouTube said that Dream Screen will be expanded in the future to allow s to generate six-second-long video clips for Shorts. The company has not revealed a release date for this feature.
