Instagram is renaming its optional disclosure for AI-driven personas from 'AI creator' to 'AI-generated profile' to make it obvious that the account isn't run by a real person. Accounts that skip this new label risk reduced visibility, losing recommendation placement in Explore and Reels for non-followers.

Instagram is renaming its 'AI creator' tag to 'AI-generated profile' and will limit the visibility of accounts featuring AI-generated people who fail to disclose it. Creators who add the new label won't face any reach penalty, but the rule only applies to profiles built around a fully AI-generated person, not those simply using AI tools for editing or captions.

Instagram is rolling out a mandatory 'AI-generated profile' label for accounts that portray a fictional AI person as if it were a real human. Accounts that fail to add the label risk having their content's reach reduced, the company said. This replaces the previous optional 'AI creator' tag with a more specific designation aimed squarely at synthetic personas rather than all AI-assisted content.

Instagram is renaming its 'AI creator' label to 'AI-generated profile' to more clearly flag accounts featuring synthetic humans. The platform will also reduce visibility for accounts that fail to self-label as AI-generated, blocking their posts from being recommended to non-followers in Reels and Explore, though owners can appeal.
