META

Meta Platforms Inc (NASDAQ:META) is expanding its manipulated media policy to include labels for AI-generated content such as photos and audio on Facebook, Instagram, and Threads. This decision follows recommendations from the company's Oversight Board to provide context for manipulated media rather than removing it. The new policy, which adds to the existing one that only covered videos, aims to introduce 'Made with AI' labels starting May 2024. Meta's approach is to add informational labels to AI-generated content unless it violates its policies, moving away from automatic removal based solely on its manipulated video policy.
