These updates are specifically tailored to enhance various aspects of its AI models, encompassing improvements in user experience, image generation, increased transparency, and providing additional protection to content creators. The overarching goal is to combat the misuse of Meta’s AI technology.

With the surge in the use of artificial intelligence models, concerns regarding the dissemination of fake images and content have risen significantly. The primary challenge lies in discerning whether an image is AI-generated. Meta’s invisible watermarking addresses this issue, offering users increased transparency. Moreover, Meta emphasizes that content creators will not have the ability to remove the watermark, ensuring its permanent inclusion in AI-generated content.
