TECH - Mark Zuckerberg's Meta Faces Backlash For Mislabeling Real Photos As 'Made With AI' | Benzinga
Mark Zuckerberg-led Meta Platforms Inc. (NASDAQ:META) has been under fire for mislabeling real photos as AI-generated on its social networks, a move that has sparked outrage among photographers and users.
What Happened: In February, Meta announced that it would start labeling photos created with AI tools on its social networks. Since May, the company has been consistently tagging some photos with a “Made with AI” label on its Facebook, Instagram, and Threads apps.
However, its approach has drawn criticism after it labeled photos that were not created using AI tools. This includes a photo of the Kolkata Knight Riders winning the Indian Premier League Cricket tournament. The label is only visible on the mobile apps and not on the web, reported TechCrunch reported on Friday.
Benzinga independently confirmed these allegations and found that the “Made with AI” label is still present on some photographs.
