The label applies only to profiles where the person is AI-generated or substantially AI-created, not to AI-assisted editing like photo touch-ups, captions, or graphics. The move follows user frustration with AI influencers appearing human, including a Wired investigation finding AI-generated male influencers promoting the dating app Goose via DMs, and an NYT report on hundreds of AI-generated doctors and wellness personalities making health claims. Why: If you run Instagram accounts with AI-generated personas for marketing, growth, or customer acquisition, you must now apply the "AI-generated profile" label or accept reduced reach. Founders using AI influencers or AI-generated brand mascots on Instagram should audit their accounts and decide whether to label or pivot strategy, since non-compliance now has a concrete distribution cost. ai-generated-content instagram platform-policy social-media-marketing
