Meta's Oversight Board Calls for Policy Overhaul on AI-Generated Explicit Images and Pornography

Jul 25, 2024, 10:56 AM

Meta's Oversight Board has called for significant changes to the company's policies regarding AI-generated explicit images and pornography. The Board criticized Meta's current rules as 'not sufficiently clear' in addressing sexually explicit AI-generated depictions of real people. It recommended that Meta update its terminology from 'derogatory' to 'non-consensual' when labeling such content. The Board's investigation revealed that Meta failed to promptly remove a naked AI deepfake of a real woman on Instagram, highlighting the inadequacy of current policies. The Board emphasized the necessity for Meta to bring its rules into the modern era of artificial intelligence to prevent the circulation of such harmful imagery on its platforms. The call for changes was made on Thursday, and one notable instance involved an intimate image of an Indian female public figure.
