Meta Takes a Stand Against Deepfakes with New AI Labels
Big news for all Facebook and Instagram users! 📢 Meta, the powerhouse behind your favorite social platforms, announced today that starting in May, it will begin labeling AI-generated content with a \"Made with AI\" tag. This move aims to keep you informed and safe in the ever-evolving digital landscape.
Previously, Meta's labeling policy was limited to specific doctored videos, but Vice President of Content Policy, Monika Bickert, revealed in a blog post that the labels will now cover AI-generated videos, images, and audio across the platforms. 🖼️🎶
But that's not all! Meta is taking extra steps to ensure transparency by introducing separate, more prominent labels for digitally altered media that could mislead the public on important matters. This is regardless of whether AI was used to create the content. 🔍
Instead of removing manipulated content, Meta's new approach will keep the posts up while providing viewers with information about how they were created. This strategy shift is all about transparency and empowering users with knowledge about the content they consume. 💡
In addition to these labels, Meta had previously unveiled a plan to detect images made with other generative AI tools by embedding invisible markers in the files, though no start date was set for that initiative.
A Meta spokesperson confirmed that these labeling changes will apply immediately to Facebook, Instagram, and the new Threads service. Other Meta products like WhatsApp and Quest VR headsets will follow different rules. 📱🕶️
Stay tuned as Meta continues to innovate and prioritize your online experience! 🚀
