Hey there, digital explorers! 🌐 Ever wondered if that cool video or image on your feed was made by a human or an AI? Well, Meta's got some news for you! Starting this May, Meta—the company behind Facebook, Instagram, and Threads—is rolling out new labels to let you know when content is \\"Made with AI\\" 🤖.
In a move to boost transparency and tackle the rise of deepfakes, Meta will begin tagging AI-generated videos, images, and audio across its platforms. This means you’ll soon see labels that help you spot the difference between what's real and what's computer-generated. Pretty neat, right? 😎
Monika Bickert, Meta's Vice President of Content Policy, shared in a blog post that this change expands on a previous policy that only addressed a small slice of doctored videos. Now, the labels will cover a whole lot more, giving you better insights into the content you consume.
But wait, there's more! 🚀 Meta will also apply special, more prominent labels to digitally altered media that poses a \\"particularly high risk of materially deceiving the public on a matter of importance\\", regardless of whether it was created using AI or other tools. So, if someone tries to pull a fast one, Meta's got your back! 👍
This new approach shifts from removing questionable posts to keeping them up but adding info about how they were made. It's all about giving you the power to make informed decisions while scrolling through your feed. 🧐
Earlier, Meta announced plans to detect AI-generated images from other companies using invisible markers (like secret watermarks 🔎) but hadn't set a start date. Now we know things are kicking off in May!
A spokesperson told Reuters that these changes apply to Facebook, Instagram, and Threads. So, next time you're on these apps, keep an eye out for those new labels! 👀 (Note: WhatsApp and Quest VR have different rules.)
And guess what? The more prominent \\"high-risk\\" labels are being applied immediately! So, the future is now, amigos! 🕒
Stay curious, stay informed, and happy scrolling! ✨
