Instagram to Penalize Unlabeled AI Profiles

The platform announces visibility sanctions for accounts featuring synthetic individuals without clearly indicating it. A new label replaces "AI creator," and an appeal right is provided, but content created with AI tools is not subject to this obligation.
Cut Recommendations for Undisclosed Accounts
Instagram plans to limit the reach of profiles that do not declare themselves as featuring AI-generated individuals. Their posts will no longer be shown to non-followers in the Reels and Explore sections. The platform also announces the implementation of an appeal right for accounts reported incorrectly. This change does not involve filtering AI-generated content as such.

An Explicit Label for Synthetic Faces
The label "AI creator" is replaced by "AI-generated profile," intended to indicate when a profile showcases a person who is not a human being. Instagram clarifies that the use of AI tools to produce content does not require this label.
Measures Motivated by User Distrust
Instagram indicates that users do not appreciate discovering afterward that a seemingly human profile is generated by AI and that they desire clear identification. The company states it is responding to the rise of fake accounts of synthetic influencers, which are increasingly difficult to spot.
