Top 10 Fastest-Growing AI Creators — Week of June 8, 2026
The AI YouTubers commanding the most attention right now — ranked by 30-day reach as our tracked universe widens to include the channel's biggest names.
Week of June 8, 2026
The headline this week isn’t a single breakout — it’s a reshuffle. We widened our tracked AI universe, and six new names crashed straight into the top 10. Established channels like Nate Herk, Matthew Berman, Matt Wolfe, Riley Brown, Liam Ottley and Python Programmer were absent from last week’s measurement and now slot in on the strength of their 30-day reach.
What didn’t change: Derek Cheung stays at #1, and Magnific holds #2. The agent-and-automation theme that led last week only got louder — Cheung, Herk, Ottley and Brown all teach viewers to build with AI rather than just watch it, and that practical, do-it-yourself angle is clearly where the engagement is concentrating.
A few familiar faces from last week — Skill Leap AI, Marina Wyss, Duncan Rogoff — dropped out of the top 10 as these larger-reach channels entered. They haven’t slowed down; the bar simply rose.
We’re still ranking by 30-day reach while our weekly snapshot history builds toward measured subscriber-growth ranking. For the full live list, every tracked channel, and a downloadable spreadsheet, head to the AI creators page.

Who is the fastest-growing AI YouTuber this week?
By 30-day reach, Derek Cheung (AI Agents Automation) holds the top spot for a second week. The big story is the influx of established names — Nate Herk, Matthew Berman, Matt Wolfe and more — now entering our ranking as we widen the tracked universe.
Why are there so many new entrants this week?
We expanded our tracked AI channel set, pulling in several heavy-hitters who weren't measured last week. Six of this week's top 10 are first-time entrants on the list.
