AI content label (platform labels)

Definition — A platform-native marker telling viewers a post is AI-generated or significantly AI-edited. Major platforms combine self-declaration at upload with automatic labeling based on provenance metadata.

Platform AI labels work through two channels. Self-declaration: an 'AI-generated' toggle in the upload flow that renders a viewer-facing tag on the post. Automatic detection: platforms read provenance signals — Content Credentials manifests, invisible watermarks, metadata — and apply labels on their own, whether or not the uploader declared anything.

The rule of thumb for AI persona accounts is to self-label realistic content by default. Undeclared synthetic media that a platform later detects or gets reported is the bad path: policies provide for reduced distribution, forced labels or removal, and repeated incidents damage account standing. Self-labeling costs one toggle; being caught not labeling costs trust and reach.

Labels are the per-post layer of a three-layer disclosure stack — account-level bio statement, per-post platform label, machine-readable provenance — and the layers back each other up when one fails (metadata gets stripped, bios go unread). The platform label guide tracks how the major platforms implement labeling.
