Meta will start labeling images generated by AI across Facebook, Instagram and Threads in the coming months. The digital giant says it’s been working with industry partners to align on common technical standards that signal when a piece of content has been created using AI, including adding a feature for people to disclose when they share AI-generated video or audio. “We’re taking this approach through the next year, during which a number of important elections are taking place around the world, ”wrote Nick Clegg, President, Global Affairs, in a company announcement. “This work is especially important as this is likely to become an increasingly adversarial space in the years ahead. People and organizations that actively want to deceive people with AI-generated content will look for ways around safeguards that are put in place to detect it. Across our industry and society more generally, we’ll need to keep looking for ways to stay one step ahead.”
