Turning on TikTok AI labels
Under TikTok's AI-generated content policy, creators must disclose realistic AI images, audio, and video, including significant AI editing making a real person dance. Stylized memes are not banned outright. When posting on TikTok:
- Select your MP4 and tap Next.
- Open More options.
- Turn on AI-generated content.
Disclosing AI content on YouTube
Under YouTube's AI disclosure rules, not all animation needs labels, but you must disclose photorealistic content making real people do things they never did or depicting realistic events that did not happen. When posting a YouTube Short, set AI use in upload or Studio.
What AI labels do not allow
An AI label discloses synthetic use without authorizing prohibited content or licensing music. TikTok prohibits private-person likenesses without consent and AI likenesses of minors. Our terms require consenting adults 18+, ban minors, and exclude separate commercial music licenses; check using a friend's or child's photo.
