Summary

  • Pinterest has come under scrutiny amid complaints of misuse of its AI-generated images, with users suspecting that some images are being passed off as original artwork or photography
  • To combat this, the company has begun rolling out its ‘Gen AI Labels’ initiative, which will see labels added to images suspected of being computer-generated.
  • The introduction of the labels has been in the works for several months, and they will be rolled out globally to help users identify computer-generated images.
  • Users will also be given the option to see fewer images modified or generated by AI while browsing certain topics.
  • The rise of AI widely misused in this way is evident across social media, with Facebook also facing heightened scrutiny surrounding user perception and awareness of AI.
