TikTok has announced that it will begin automatically labeling content created using artificial intelligence when uploaded from specific platforms. This move is aimed at combating the spread of misinformation on the popular social media platform. By clearly identifying content created by artificial intelligence, users can better distinguish between factual information and potentially misleading or inaccurate content.
TikTok wants to ensure that individuals are able to differentiate between real and fabricated content, as AI-generated content has been found to be manipulated and used for propaganda purposes. This new feature will help users to make informed decisions about the information they consume and share on the platform.
During an appearance on ABC’s “Good Morning America”, Adam Presser, TikTok’s Head of Operations & Trust and Safety, expressed that the platform’s users and creators are excited about the possibilities that AI presents for creativity and audience engagement. However, TikTok wants to ensure that individuals are able to differentiate between real and fabricated content.
In the past, TikTok has encouraged users to label content that has been generated or heavily edited by AI. The platform also mandates that all AI-generated content containing realistic images, audio, and video be labeled as such. By implementing automatic labeling for AI-created content, TikTok is taking a proactive approach to promoting transparency and trust within its community.
The move comes after recent reports of fake news being spread on the platform which could have negative consequences on public health or even democracy itself. With this new feature, TikTok aims to create a safe space for its user where they can easily identify what is real or not.
Overall, this new feature will help TikTok maintain a healthy community by providing users with accurate information while preventing false information from spreading widely on the app.
