\n\t\t<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\nIn an effort to put more onus on crowdsourced moderation, Twitter has launched Community Notes for images in posts. The company is aiming to address scenarios of morphed images or AI-generated images across the platform where the photos are posted. In other words, the platform wants to flag content like \u201cthe Balenciaga Pope\u201d<\/a> that went viral a few weeks ago. The launch comes days after an AI-generated image about an attack on the Pentagon spread quickly<\/a> as prominent accounts retweeted it.<\/p>\n Twitter said that notes written for an image will appear on \u201crecent & future\u201d posts containing it. At the moment, the feature is in the test phase and will work for tweets with a singular image.<\/p>\n The company said that only Community Notes contributors with an impact score<\/a> \u2014 a score that measures the helpfulness of contributor\u2019s notes \u2014 of 10 will be able to see an option to submit notes about an image rather than a tweet. This way, if other users tweet the same image but with different captions, the Community Notes will remain the same.<\/p>\n From AI-generated images to manipulated videos, it\u2019s common to come across misleading media. Today we\u2019re piloting a feature that puts a superpower into contributors\u2019 hands: Notes on Media<\/p>\n Notes attached to an image will automatically appear on recent & future matching images. pic.twitter.com\/89mxYU2Kir<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 Community Notes (@CommunityNotes) May 30, 2023<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n Tweets containing images with notes will have a label saying \u201cThis note is about the image and could be shown on other Tweets that include this image.\u201d<\/p>\n Image Credits:<\/strong> Twitter<\/p>\n<\/div>\n The social network said<\/a> it is working on expanding this feature to support videos and tweets with multiple media. It also noted that since this is an early version of Community Notes for media content, the matching algorithm might miss a few tweets that include an image with notes.<\/p>\n It\u2019s currently intended to err on the side of precision when matching images, which means it likely won\u2019t match every image that looks like a match to you. We will work to tune this to expand coverage while avoiding erroneous matches.<\/p>\n \u2014 Community Notes (@CommunityNotes) May 30, 2023<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n The Pentagon attack hoax spreading quickly was a combination of paid verified accounts and AI-generated images<\/a>. Even though the original image and the tweet were deleted, the photo was still being circulated on the social network. This issue is also spreading to fake AI-generated ads<\/a> misleading people into believing that prominent personalities like former footballer Ian Wright<\/a> and chef Gordon Ramsey<\/a> have passed away.<\/p>\n Welcome to the @elonmusk<\/a> advertising nightmare. Friend sent me this tweet asking wtaf the @guardian<\/a> url is doing on this weird AI generated ad suggesting (incorrectly) that Ian Wright is dead . The link goes to an old page on the Guardian site 1\/ pic.twitter.com\/ICHEoyO5l6<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 emily bell (@emilybell) May 29, 2023<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n After Elon Musk\u2019s takeover of Twitter<\/a>, the company has heavily relied on crowdsourced moderation through Community Notes as it let go of staff working on trust and safety to cut costs.<\/p>\n Last year, Twitter rolled out Community Notes worldwide<\/a>. Earlier this year, it started accepting contributions from various countries<\/a>. In February, Twitter rolled out a feature to make people aware of the context related to a tweet \u2014 the social network started sending notifications when a post a user retweeted or replied to gets a note<\/a> after the fact.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n <\/br><\/br><\/br><\/p>\n\n
