Instagram Introduces AI-Generated Profile Label and Limits Reach for Undisclosed Accounts
Instagram has introduced a new "AI-generated profile" label to identify accounts featuring AI-generated personas, replacing the previous "AI creator" label. The platform requires creators to disclose if their profiles feature AI-generated people, aiming to improve transparency and user trust. Accounts that fail to label AI-generated profiles may face reduced reach and limited recommendations. Instagram clarified that the label does not apply to creators who use AI tools for content editing but represent real individuals. Users can appeal if penalized incorrectly.
