The Oversight Board says Meta needs new rules for AI-generated content

TL;DR

The Oversight Board is once again urging Meta to overhaul its rules around AI-generated content. This time, the board says Meta should create a separate rule for AI content that's independent of its misinformation policy, invest in more reliable detection tools and make better use of digital watermarks among other changes.

Meta's Oversight Board keeps writing recommendations like homework assignments Meta never turns in. A 700K-view AI-fabricated war video staying up without even a label isn't a detection problem — it's a priorities problem.

Without clear AI-content policies, synthetic media will keep poisoning information ecosystems — and practitioners building these tools share responsibility.
