Any AI-generated content will need to be labeled as such if shared on the TikTok platform.
In an effort to combat misinformation and separate fact from fiction, the next move by Chinese platform giant ByteDance joins the wave of efforts by tech companies to create a safer use of AI.
"Artificial intelligence provides incredible creative opportunities, but it can confuse or mislead viewers if they don't know the content was created by AI," the company said in a statement.
In February, Meta also announced that it was working with industry partners on technical standards that would make it easier to tag images, videos and audio generated by artificial intelligence tools.
Google also announced last year that logos with the initials AI will be applied to videos on YouTube as well as other platforms of the group.
A push for digital tagging of AI-generated content was also part of an executive order that US President Joe Biden signed in October last year.
Over the coming months, any content created on TikTok will have production credentials attached to it, which will remain even when downloaded.
The ruling comes just two days after ByteDance, its Chinese parent company, sued over a new US law that would ban the app in the US unless TikTok is sold to an approved buyer. According to the Chinese lawsuit, the law unfairly singles out the platform and is an unprecedented attack on free speech.
