MrBeast (Jimmy Donaldson) has voiced significant concerns about AI's rapid advancement threatening YouTube creators' livelihoods, calling it "scary times" for the industry. Despite this, he has experimented with AI tools, including a now-removed thumbnail generator on his Viewstats platform that faced backlash for using AI-generated art.bbc+2

MrBeast tested AI for video thumbnails that could mimic channel styles and insert user faces, but pulled it after criticism over copyright and job displacement issues. His team also uses AI dubbing to alter voice actors' voices to sound like his for multilingual content, boosting watch time.[techcrunch]​youtube+1

Through Beast Philanthropy, he partnered with Light AI on a smartphone tool to diagnose bacterial infections, aiming to aid 10,000 African patients.[fortune]​

MrBeast worries AI videos could rival human content, especially with tools like OpenAI's Sora 2 enabling realistic stunts similar to his challenges. His influence amplifies these fears, as he tops Forbes' 2025 creator list with $85 million earnings and 634 million followers.futurism+1
