Meta is taking extra steps to ensure users understand the AI-generated content in its apps. As part of expanded AI disclosure requirements, new naming options for AI-generated content will now appear under Post Author.
The company has now introduced a new tab that should be activated when users download AI-generated content.
The new tag complements the company's AI content discovery tools, as Meta adds a “Made with AI” tag to content it recognizes using AI.
The new tag displays the same information that the Made with AI tag adds to posts, ensuring Facebook and Instagram users know an image isn't real and eliminating confusion about what they're seeing.
AI-generated photos are currently causing major problems for Facebook users.
The number of Facebook pages posting disturbing AI-generated photos to gain likes has increased, and bugs in these photos haven't stopped them from receiving hundreds of thousands of likes and comments from seemingly unsuspecting Facebook users. .
The new AI nomenclature provides a degree of transparency, albeit modest. Since many users did not notice that the photos were fake, it is likely that many users also did not notice the ratings.
This could become a big problem for Meta as scammers and spammers try to use AI images as triggers for interactions.
These scammers try to use methods like this to promote their page and then sell it to other people who have a large audience, or they also want to post spammy links or ads in addition to their regular posts that help promote this receive news with additional reach via .
Meta hopes to vigorously enforce the new AI disclosure rules when they take effect this week and plans to impose additional penalties for violations of these rules if they are disclosed or discovered.
