Reporting from 1 source: GIGAZINE.
Meta announced on July 28, 2026 that it will sign the EU AI Act's Code of Practice on transparency of AI-generated content. The company already labels AI-generated images on Instagram, Facebook, and Threads, and recently released a research demo of an AI detection tool. The EU AI Act took effect August 1, 2024.
Meta's announcement follows its recent release of a research demo for an AI detection tool that can identify whether an uploaded image was made with Meta's AI. The company also introduced an AI mode on Facebook and unveiled the Muse Spark 1.1 multimodal reasoning model through its Meta Superintelligence Labs division.
In a statement, Meta said it is working through AI partnerships and forums to develop durable, technically feasible, and sustainable solutions for identifying AI-generated content. The company stressed that transparency measures should bring clarity rather than confusion, and warned against overwhelming users with labels or increasing regulatory complexity for providers. Meta said it will cooperate with the AI Office and other partners to keep the approach practical and interoperable.
