Instagram Chief Says AI Images Are Evolving Fast and He's Worried About Us Keeping Up

Instagram will verify users, label AI content, and propose cryptographic camera signing to restore trust as AI-generated images rise, Mosseri said in a year-end essay.

  • In a 2025 year-end essay, Instagram chief Adam Mosseri warned AI-generated content has shattered visual trust on Instagram and Threads, prompting a shift to verifying people and labeling AI content.
  • Mosseri said that authenticity is becoming infinitely reproducible, and younger users over 25 share unflattering candid images in private chats or disappearing stories.
  • On the technical front, Mosseri proposed camera manufacturers cryptographically sign photos to prove authenticity, while industry moves include Meta's purchase of Manus AI and tools like Google's Nano Banana Pro detecting AI traits.
  • Platform leaders say content moderation cannot keep up with advancing AI, Mosseri warned it will take years to stop assuming what we see is real, and Instagram must evolve quickly or risk falling behind.
  • Looking toward 2026, Mosseri said `At that point we'll need to shift our focus to who says something instead of what is being said,` signaling a long-term trust shift.
