TikTok to automatically label AI-generated content

As a seasoned crypto investor with a keen interest in technology and its impact on society, I’m excited about TikTok’s recent announcement regarding AI-generated content (AIGC) labeling. Having witnessed the rapid advancement of AI and its potential to create deepfakes, I believe this move is essential for maintaining trust and authenticity on social media platforms.


TikTok, the widely used social media site for producing and disseminating brief videos, announced that it will begin tagging AI-generated content (AIGC) as such once it’s uploaded onto the platform.

Starting on May 9, Facebook announced a collaboration with the Coalition for Content Provenance and Authenticity (C2PA), making it the pioneering social media platform to adopt their Content Credentials technology for media sharing.

For more than a year now, TikTok has mandated content producers to tag realistic Artificial Intelligence-generated content and creations utilizing the platform’s built-in AI effects.

moreover, the latest advancement introduces an automatic tagging feature for AI-produced content sourced from external platforms. This functionality is made possible by Content Credentials technology, which adds metadata to the content allowing the platform to swiftly recognize and categorize AIGC based on the attached information.

As a data analyst, I would interpret this statement as follows: Once Content Credential is rolled out to other platforms and integrated with their metadata, the volume of automatically generated labels for Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning models (AIGC) on TikTok will start to grow gradually.

As an analyst, I would explain it this way: At present, our technology is capable of processing images and videos with the new feature. However, we are actively working on expanding its functionality to include audio content as well. So, stay tuned for that exciting update!

The social media platform has now become a part of the Content Authenticity Initiative (CAI), which is spearheaded by Adobe. According to Dana Roa, Adobe’s general counsel and chief trust officer, this collaboration was announced:

“At a time when any digital content can be altered, it is essential to provide ways for the public to discern what is true.”

TikTok announced an extra feature: along with AI labeling, they will provide media literacy resources, created in collaboration with MediaWise and WITNESS.

As a media analysis expert, I’d interpret this statement as follows: Throughout the year, our social media platform is planning to share 12 educational videos to promote media literacy skills that apply universally. Additionally, we will demonstrate how our features like AIGC labels on TikTok can enhance content understanding by providing extra context.

As artificial intelligence (AI) progresses, it becomes increasingly capable of generating authentic-looking content, leading to a surge in deepfakes produced by AI systems.

As a cryptocurrency market analyst, I came across some troubling news on May 8. In Hong Kong, an unauthorized and fraudulent cryptocurrency exchange was exposed. This nefarious platform had cleverly fabricated links to Elon Musk, using AI-generated content such as videos and images, which they posted on their website and social media channels, in an attempt to deceive potential investors.

Approximately a few days ago, Warren Buffet, one of the co-founders of Berkshire Hathaway, made a comparison between the influence of Artificial Intelligence (AI) on illicit financial activities and the emergence of atomic bombs and nuclear weaponry.

As a crypto investor, I was taken aback when I encountered a deeply convincing fake video of myself. The depiction was so accurate that it mirrored my clothing choices, mannerisms, and speech patterns with uncanny precision.
