Meta oversight board tells company to clean up rules on AI-generated pornography

25/7/2024 18:16

        Meta's Oversight Board on Thursday said the company's rules were "not sufficiently clear" in barring sexually explicit AI-generated depictions of real people and called for changes to stop such imagery from circulating on its platforms.
        
        The board, which is funded by the social media giant but operates independently, issued its ruling after reviewing two pornographic fakes of famous women created using artificial intelligence and posted on Meta's Facebook and Instagram.
        
        Meta said it would review the board's recommendations and provide an update on any changes adopted.
        
        In its report, the board identified the two women only as female public figures from India and the United States, citing privacy concerns.
        
        The board found both images violated Meta's rule barring "derogatory sexualized photoshop," which the company classifies as a form of bullying and harassment, and said Meta should have removed them promptly.
