Adam Mosseri says negativity around AI is ‘going to get worse’

The Verge
Instagram head Adam Mosseri warns that growing frustration and anger toward AI, especially in creative industries, will continue to worsen over the next couple of years.

Summary

In an interview on the Colin and Samir podcast, Instagram head Adam Mosseri acknowledged widespread dislike of AI, noting that frustration and anger toward the technology are not limited to young people and creatives. He said the negativity is not only getting worse but will continue to get worse over the next couple of years, with some concerns founded and some unfounded, making things hard for many people. Mosseri claimed Instagram does not rank AI creators differently but questioned whether the platform ranks AI content as well as non-AI content, saying there is both great AI content and a lot of AI slop, though he believes the term slop is used too liberally. He noted Instagram is now requiring AI accounts to label themselves and is actively working out what to do about AI fakes like celebrity deepfakes, though he does not think banning AI content is practical. He said people's concerns include owning their content, models being trained on their content, safety, and job displacement, and that fundamentally it comes down to a fear of being left behind.
