Key Takeaways
- The new label helps users distinguish between AI-generated profiles and those of real human accounts.
- Accounts that do not disclose the use of AI may face reach restrictions, while those with the label are not impacted in terms of reach.
- The change was made in response to user feedback requesting upfront knowledge about whether a profile is AI-generated.
Instagram introduces a new label for accounts with AI-generated profiles, replacing the former “AI creator” with “AI-generated profile”. This new badge aims to make it easier to tell the difference between AI-generated profiles from real human accounts. This classification does not impact the reach of accounts for creators who designate their profiles as AI-generated. However, accounts that do not disclose the usage of artificial intelligence may be restricted. Any limits imposed by the Account Status feature can be challenged by creators.
Meta is rolling out an upgrade to Instagram to increase openness around AI-generated accounts. The AI creator label will be updated to “AI-generated profile” to better specify whether a profile has an AI-generated person. Also, the reach of profiles without this mark will be restricted. Meta has made this change due to input from users. Many users have said they’d like to know upfront whether a profile is AI-generated rather than find out later.
Creators who added the AI creator label before may now evaluate and change it, either verifying its relevance or removing it if it’s no longer relevant. People using AI tools to assist them in their creation process are not required to label.

The creator needs to tag AI-generated profiles using the AI-generated profile option. If there are no additional AI creation or editing labels, this will be the label that appears on the profile and any associated content. It is important to bring out that the AI-generated profile label does not affect the overall reach of the profile. Or if the profile is not marked as an AI profile, it can have limited reach. In addition, creators of these unlabelled profiles will be notified so they may check their eligibility for recommendations via their account status.

Two options are available to restore recommendability for unlabelled AI-generated profiles. First, an AI-generated tag can be added to the profile that accurately represents the profile’s identity. Secondly, the creators can appeal the decision if they believe the restrictions placed on them are incorrect. You are advised to check the account status for any limitations before you proceed with the appeal. Successful appeals will be reinstated in the profile, and profile information to recommendations.
