Facebook Announces Changes to Artificial Intelligence Rules
(Facebook Updates Its Policy on Artificial Intelligence)
MENLO PARK, CA – Facebook revealed new policies today for artificial intelligence work. The company says these changes aim to make AI use safer and more open. The updates focus on how Facebook builds AI and how people use it on Facebook apps.
Facebook explained the updates are needed. AI technology is developing very fast. The company wants clear rules for itself and its users. People need to understand when they interact with AI. Facebook also wants to prevent misuse.
A key part of the new policy involves user data. Facebook will require clearer permission before using people’s information to train certain AI models. This applies to public posts. The company states this gives users more control.
Another important change concerns AI-made content. Facebook will start labeling images, videos, and audio created by AI. The labels will appear where users see this content. The goal is to help people know what is real and what is AI-generated. Facebook believes this is crucial for trust.
The policy also sets stricter rules for AI systems that mimic real people. Facebook bans AI that pretends to be someone else without permission. This targets potential scams and misinformation. The company will remove such content.
Facebook is also planning for future AI risks. The policy includes safety measures for more advanced AI systems. The company commits to testing these systems thoroughly before release. Safety experts will review high-risk AI projects.
These new rules apply to all Facebook employees and partners working on AI. The company expects outside developers using its platforms to follow similar standards. Facebook says it will enforce the policy actively.
