The Chinese social media company is trying to add safeguards to AI-generated content.
ADVERTISEMENTTikTok will begin labelling content created using artificial intelligence (AI) when content is uploaded from outside its platform.TikTok says its efforts are an attempt to combat misinformation from being spread on its social media platform.“AI enables incredible creative opportunities, but can confuse or mislead viewers if they don’t know (the) content was AI-generated,” the company said in a prepared statement Thursday. “Labeling helps make that context clear – which is why we label AIGC made with TikTok AI effects and have required creators to label realistic AIGC for over a year”.The move is part of an overall effort by those in the technology industry to provide more safeguards for AI usage. In February, Meta announced that it was working with industry partners on technical standards that will make it easier to identify images and eventually video and audio generated by artificial intelligence tools. The efforts would include Facebook and Instagram users seeing labels on AI-generated images that appear on their social media feeds.Google said last year that AI labels are coming to YouTube and its other platforms.A push for digital watermarking and labelling of AI-generated content was also part of an executive order that US President Joe Biden signed in October.TikTok said that it’s teaming with the Coalition for Content Provenance and Authenticity and will use its Content Credentials technology.The company said that the technology can attach metadata to content, which it can use to instantly recognise and label AI-generated content. TikTok said its use of the capability started Thursday on images and videos and will be coming to audio-only content soon.Over the upcoming months, Content Credentials will be attached to content made on TikTok, which will remain on the content when downloaded. This will help identify AI-generated content that’s made on TikTok and help people learn when, where and how the content was made or edited. Other platforms that adopt Content Credentials will be able to automatically label it.TikTok said it’s the first video-sharing platform to put the credentials into practice and will join the Adobe-led Content Authenticity Initiative to help push the adoption of the credentials within the industry.“TikTok is the first social media platform to support Content Credentials, and with over 140 million users in the United States alone, their platform and their vast community of creators and users are an essential piece of that chain of trust needed to increase transparency online,” Dana Rao, Adobe’s executive vice president, general counsel and chief trust officer, said in a blog post.TikTok’s policy in the past has been to encourage users to label content that has been generated or significantly edited by AI. It also requires users to label all AI-generated content where it contains realistic images, audio, and video.“Our users and our creators are so excited about AI and what it can do for their creativity and their ability to connect with audiences.” Adam Presser, TikTok’s Head of Operations & Trust and Safety told ABC News. “And at the same time, we want to make sure that people have that ability to understand what fact is and what is fiction”.The announcement initially came on ABC’s “Good Morning America” programme on Thursday.TikTok’s AI actions come just two days after TikTok said that it and its Chinese parent company, ByteDance, had filed a lawsuit challenging a new American law that would ban the video-sharing app in the US unless it’s sold to an approved buyer, saying it unfairly singles out the platform and is an unprecedented attack on free speech.ADVERTISEMENTThe lawsuit is the latest turn in what’s shaping up to be a protracted legal fight over TikTok’s future in the United States – and one that could end up before the Supreme Court. If TikTok loses, it says it will be forced to shut down next year.
