Instagram Fights Against Artificial Intelligence Accounts

Instagram has moved to braking the spread of fake influencer accounts created by artificial intelligence on the platform. The “AI creative” accounts like Aitana Lopez are now announced to be labeled by**“AI. This change will clearly show users interact with a avatar created by artificial intelligence, not with a real man.

New regulations brought to the platform focus on:

• Fake AI profiles updated labeling system to detect easier
• “AI-generated profile” definition will be used rather than “AI-generated” tag
• Users will understand that the profiles that appear as humanized are actually artificial intelligence
• Instagram scored this step by taking into account complaints from deceptif AI accounts

AI accounts that show behavior like human have become an important problem in social media platforms in the last period. Users are disappointed when they learned to be managed by their AI after they follow the accounts they thought to be a real one. This step of Instagram shows the stability of platform to increase transparency and protect user trust.

The new labeling system is an important step to draw a limit between AI and real people. In the future, similar regulations are expected to be applied on other social media platforms.
