Mosseri Warns AI Backlash Will Worsen Over 2 Years as Job and Content Fears Spread

Summary
Adam Mosseri said anger and anxiety about AI are already rising and will intensify over the next couple of years, especially in creative industries.
Job displacement, model training on creators’ work, safety risks and a broader fear of being left behind are driving that backlash, he said.
Instagram is trying to manage the fallout rather than ban AI outright: Mosseri said the platform now requires AI accounts to label themselves so users know what is real or not.
He added Instagram does not rank AI creators differently, but said low-quality “AI slop” remains a moderation problem and misleading deepfakes are still an issue.
