Elon Musk’s social media platform X is taking a firm stance against AI-generated deepfake content amid the Israel-Iran conflict by updating its revenue-sharing policies. The company’s Product Head, Nikita Bier, announced that creators on the platform will now face suspensions for posting AI videos of armed conflicts without proper disclosure.
The move comes as X aims to uphold the authenticity of content, particularly during sensitive periods like wartime. Bier emphasized the ease with which AI technologies can be used to manipulate and mislead individuals, highlighting the need for transparency in content creation.
Effective immediately, creators failing to disclose AI involvement in videos depicting armed conflicts will be suspended from X’s Creator Revenue Sharing for 90 days. Repeat violations will lead to permanent bans from the program, with detection mechanisms in place to identify AI-generated content.
Recently, X introduced a ‘Made with AI’ label to inform viewers when content involves AI elements, enhancing transparency within the platform. This move aligns with the platform’s efforts to combat misinformation and maintain the integrity of shared information.
As tensions escalate between the US, Israel, and Iran, X has experienced a surge in platform traffic, indicating the significant role social media plays in disseminating real-time updates during geopolitical crises.
