Musk's X Tackles Edited Images, How Still Unclear

Elon Musk's X has introduced a new feature designed to label manipulated images, although the specifics of its detection method are not yet clear. This initiative, announced via an X post, aims to make it more difficult for misleading visual content to spread.

Previously, Twitter, before its rebranding to X, had policies against sharing manipulated media, encompassing edits beyond AI generation. It remains uncertain if X's current policy aligns with its predecessor's or if significant changes have been made to address AI-generated content.

X’s help documentation mentions a policy against inauthentic media, but its enforcement has been inconsistent, as evidenced by recent deepfake issues. Similar to X, other platforms like Meta and TikTok are also grappling with labeling AI-generated or manipulated content.
