Authenticity is the foundation of our community at TikTok, and we strive to foster an environment where genuine interactions and content thrive. As we noted before, it is difficult for TikTok to respond to generic claims in the article as there is no current content or activity to assess. Generally, content that violates our Community Guidelines is not allowed on TikTok, regardless of whether it was created or altered with AI. Through our dedicated Edited Media and AI-Generated Content (AIGC) policy, we apply additional rules for AIGC that enable creativity while protecting viewers from being misled.
We require creators to label AIGC that shows realistic-appearing scenes or people, and were the first content sharing platform to build a tool that helps them do this easily. We also prohibit AIGC that could mislead viewers about the truth of real world events, including content that was misleadingly edited or taken out of context, shows fake authoritative sources or crisis events, or falsely shows public figures who are being bullied, or impersonated, including making an endorsement, or being endorsed.For further information about TikTok policies related to Artificial Intelligence and Countering Deceptive Behavior, see the websites below:
