Meta, formerly known as Facebook, recently announced a change in their artificial intelligence (AI) content detection label from “Made with AI” to “AI Info,” following criticism from Instagram influencers and photographers. The previous label was deemed misleading and lacking in context, causing confusion among users. The new label aims to clear up any ambiguity surrounding images and videos edited using AI tools.
In an effort to provide more transparency, Meta has updated its approach towards labelling AI-generated content. The company now plans to tag posts as “AI Info” instead of “Made with AI,” making it easier for users to understand the origin of the content. Furthermore, Meta will continue to flag posts that have undergone even minor edits using AI tools. This move is intended to give users a clearer picture of how AI technology is being used on the platform.
Enhancing User Experience
While some users have already noticed the new label on their posts, it may take a few days for the changes to be visible to all users. The “AI Info” label can be clicked on to access additional information about the content. A bottom sheet will appear, explaining that generative AI may have been used to create or edit the post. This feature is particularly helpful for users who are unfamiliar with the technology behind AI-generated content.
Meta has emphasized that it follows industry-standard indicators, such as the Coalition for Content Provenance and Authenticity (C2PA) and the International Press Telecommunications Council (IPTC) standards, to detect AI-generated content. The company is also collaborating with other industry partners to enhance its AI labelling process and ensure that it accurately reflects the intent behind the content. However, despite these efforts, there are still concerns about the effectiveness of Meta’s tools in detecting AI-generated images.
Challenges and Future Considerations
One of the main challenges faced by Meta is the large number of undetected AI-generated images on Instagram. Despite the implementation of the “AI Info” label, there is a risk of diluting its significance by using it to flag images that have been retouched using AI. This may undermine the original purpose of identifying deepfakes and manipulative AI content. Moving forward, Meta will need to address these challenges and work towards improving the accuracy of its AI detection tools to maintain user trust and transparency on the platform.
