Meta Announces Change in Label for AI Contents
Meta has announced the rollout of the ‘AI Info’ label, which will replace the ‘Made with AI’ label after the backlash it received.

The label change was also a result of public opinion surveys and consultation with civil society organisations conducted by the company. Read more here.
