Meta says gen AI had muted impact on global elections this year

Generative AI had limited impact on Meta platforms during major elections this year, according to Meta's president of global affairs, Nick Clegg. Coordinated networks of accounts spreading false content or propaganda failed to gain a significant audience on Facebook and Instagram. Meta was able to quickly label or remove the low volume of AI-generated misinformation. However, coordinated networks are shifting towards other platforms or operating their own websites to stay online. Meta has also retreated from stringent content moderation, aiming to protect free expression while improving the precision and accuracy of enforcing its rules. This decision is partly in response to criticism of censorship from Republican lawmakers.
