Researchers have expressed concern that AI-generated content could be used to interfere with U.S. elections this fall, and TikTok was already among a group of 20 tech companies that earlier this year signed an accord pledging to fight it.
The company already labels AI-generated content made with tools inside the app, but the latest move would apply a label to videos and images generated outside of the service.
