X Warns Against Creator Payouts Over Undisclosed AI War Videos
X will suspend creators from its revenue-sharing program for 90 days if they post AI-generated videos of armed conflict without clear disclosure that the footage is artificial. Repeat offenders will be permanently removed from the monetization program. The change aims to preserve authenticity and prevent manipulation, especially during wars, when accurate information is crucial. The update follows the circulation of viral AI-generated videos claiming to depict missile strikes in the Middle East. X will enforce the rule using signals like Community Notes and AI-detection metadata. The new policy targets financial incentives driving creators to spread misleading content. The announcement cites rising global concerns over deepfakes and AI misinformation influencing public perception during conflicts.
