TikTok has introduced a new feature that gives users control over how much AI-generated content they see in their feeds, marking a significant step in content personalization and transparency on the platform. This AI content control is integrated within TikTok's existing “Manage Topics” tool, enabling users to adjust the frequency of AI-generated videos in their “For You” feed according to their preferences[1][7].

The feature works via a simple slider in the app’s Settings under “Content Preferences,” where users can increase or decrease their exposure to AI-generated content alongside other topics such as Dance, Sports, and Food & Drinks[1]. TikTok emphasized that this control is designed to tailor the diversity of content users see rather than to remove AI content entirely, providing a nuanced way to balance user interests and content variety.

In addition to user controls, TikTok is enhancing its labeling technology for AI-generated content with advanced methods such as “invisible watermarking” and the adoption of Content Credentials, a technology developed by Adobe and supported by C2PA (Coalition for Content Provenance and Authenticity). This technology embeds metadata directly into videos and images, allowing TikTok and other platforms to trace the origin and authenticity of AI-generated media. This is especially important in combating misinformation, ensuring that AI-created content is clearly identified and can be verified by users across platforms[1][2][4].

TikTok has mandated clear labeling of realistic synthetic AI content, and the platform automatically detects AI-generated media using embedded metadata. Content that is AI-generated but not properly labeled risks removal, while misleading or harmful AI content, such as deepfakes or misinformation, faces strict prohibitions and penalties, including content removal and account restrictions[3][5].

The rollout of these AI content controls and labeling features is happening in phases, with global availability expected in the coming weeks. This initiative aligns with TikTok’s broader 2025 policy updates aimed at transparency, safety, and user empowerment amid growing concerns about AI’s role in digital media[1][3].

TikTok’s new AI-generated content control, which lets users adjust how much synthetic media appears in their For You feed, has sparked mixed reactions from the public. Early adopters praised the transparency, with one user tweeting, “Finally, I can actually filter out those weird AI videos that feel off,” while others expressed concern about the platform’s ability to accurately label content, citing instances where AI-generated videos slipped through undetected.
