Does TikTok Allow AI-Generated Content?

Absolutely! TikTok embraces the future by allowing AI-generated content, but has started requiring users to label their AI-generated posts.

To maintain authenticity, TikTok has rolled out a new feature enabling creators to label their videos with “AI-generated content” tags.

As AI tools become increasingly sophisticated and integrated into content creation, TikTok ensures viewers are informed.

With the recent launch of this feature, TikTok emphasizes a balance between cutting-edge innovation and clear communication.

For TikTokers, this means leveraging the power of AI while also being upfront with their audience about its usage.

Why Does TikTok Have AI Labels?

With AI tech churning out content that feels almost human, platforms like TikTok are putting steps in place to keep us informed.

Remember that wild moment with the “Fake Drake” video?

That’s what happens when AI-generated content gets too convincing. Fast forward, Universal Music Group (UMG) had the AI-generated track swiftly pulled from numerous streaming platforms, citing both breach of agreements and copyright law.

TikTok introduced AI labels to distinguish between authentic content and what’s AI-crafted. This move ensures that while creators can leverage cutting-edge AI tools, viewers stay in the know.
