Adam Mosseri says public anger over AI will keep growing
Original title: Adam Mosseri says negativity around AI is ‘going to get worse’
He says Instagram does not rank AI creators differently and is requiring AI accounts to label themselves.
Instagram head Adam Mosseri told the Colin and Samir podcast that anxiety and anger about AI are rising, especially in creative industries, and will worsen over the next couple of years. He attributed much of that feeling to a fear of being left behind, alongside worries about training on creators’ content, safety, and job displacement. He said Instagram does not rank AI creators differently, called the term “AI slop” overused, and said the platform is starting to require AI accounts to label themselves. He also said banning AI content is not practical, while celebrity deepfakes remain a problem.
Unconfirmed: Mosseri’s comments are his own assessment, not measured platform data.
- Mosseri spoke while discussing widescreen and long-form video on Instagram.
- He said some of the coming frustration will be founded and some unfounded.
- Instagram began cracking down on AI-generated profiles in August.
- He said the company is still deciding what to do about AI fakes.
