Meta to adjust AI policies on content after board said they were "incoherent and confusing"

Meta will adjust its policies on manipulated and A.I.-generated content to begin to label ahead of the fall elections, after an independent body overseeing the company's content moderation found that previous policies were "incoherent and confusing," and said they should be "reconsidered."

The changes stem from the Meta Oversight Board's recomendations earlier this year issued in its review of a highly edited video of President Biden that appeared on Facebook. The video had been manipulated to make it appear as if Mr. Biden was repeatedly inappropriately touching his adult granddaughter's chest.

In the original video, taken in 2022, the president places an "I voted" sticker on his granddaughter after voting in the midterm elections. But the video under review by Meta's Oversight Board was looped and edited into a seven-second clip that critics said left a misleading impression.
