Instead of directly removing manipulated content, a contextual label providing information about the content will be displayed to reduce the risk of public deceit. Although the company believes in free speech, content violating community policies, such as bullying, harassment, violence, and incitement will be removed immediately. Based on consultations carried out with 120 stakeholders in 34 countries, most of the stakeholders supported the idea of labeling and self-disclosure of AI-generated content. The stakeholders also accepted the proposal to limit the removal of manipulated content only in case of violation of company policies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Meta has already issued a timeline regarding the effectiveness of these plans that allows users to understand the self-disclosure process and modify their content to avoid removal of their content from Instagram, Facebook, and Threads.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Meta To Label AI-Generated Content From May 2024","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"meta-to-label-ai-generated-content-from-may-2024","to_ping":"","pinged":"\nhttps:\/\/about.fb.com\/news\/2024\/04\/metas-approach-to-labeling-ai-generated-content-and-manipulated-media\/","post_modified":"2024-04-07 19:03:01","post_modified_gmt":"2024-04-07 09:03:01","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=16263","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":14865,"post_author":"17","post_date":"2024-01-04 03:03:55","post_date_gmt":"2024-01-03 16:03:55","post_content":"\n Meta Inc., the parent company of Facebook, has recently announced the inclusion of Meta AI in their new generation of Ray-Ban smart glasses.
