Instagram Updates AI Profile Label and Limits Reach of Undisclosed AI Accounts
Instagram has updated its policies by replacing the "AI creator" label with a clearer "AI-generated profile" tag to identify accounts featuring AI-generated personas. The platform will limit the reach of profiles that use AI-generated people without disclosing this identity, aiming to improve transparency and user trust. Creators using AI tools for content editing or enhancement are not required to use the label. Accounts can appeal if they believe they were wrongly penalized, and disclosed AI profiles will not face reach restrictions.
