LONDON: TikTok said it is rolling out new artificial intelligence literacy resources and testing enhanced spam-detection systems across the Middle East and North Africa as platforms face growing pressure to police synthetic content.
The latest updates unveiled this week include AI literacy resources developed with experts, enhanced systems to detect AI-generated spam and expanded partnerships aimed at improving transparency across the industry.
“As artificial intelligence continues to transform the way people create and discover content, TikTok is expanding its efforts to ensure users can confidently navigate AI-powered experiences,” the video social media platform said in a statement.
TikTok said it removed more than 86 million fake accounts in the first quarter of this year and labeled more than 3 billion AI-generated videos using tools including Content Credentials, creator disclosure tools and invisible watermarking technology.
It said it will begin testing “enhanced detection systems” designed to identify accounts dedicated to posting AI-generated spam, with an initial focus on content that could affect public trust or well-being, including politics and current events, financial advice and medical information.
