With an automatic system, what will actually happen is even more algorithmic bureaucracy, and real people being banned for false positives or for using any ML-assisted techniques at all. These algorithms are snake oil, there's simply no real way to detect it reliably. Youtube is enough of a dumpster fire already and its automated systems are being exploited left and right. Don't make any mistakes, this requirement is meant to cover Youtube's ass, not to do anything useful to you. How it will be enforced is entirely up to them. I suspect it will be much closer to "occasionally banning someone to appease the outraged crowd" rather than to "algorithmic banhammer".
