AI influencer disclosure
Direct answer
AI influencer content should clearly distinguish a virtual creator from a real person and identify materially generated or altered components. Platform AI labels, advertising disclosures and identity or consent review are separate requirements. Keep evidence of the creator's nature, AI tools, commercial relationship and human approval.
Applies when
- A photoreal virtual influencer.
- Altered likeness or cloned voice of a real creator.
- Generated endorsements or testimonial-style content.
Doesn't apply when
- Clearly fictional illustrated characters where the presentation cannot reasonably be mistaken for a real person.

Next steps
