X has announced a new policy to suspend creators from its revenue-sharing program for posting unlabeled AI-generated content related to armed conflicts. Creators who fail to disclose AI-generated videos of armed conflicts will face a 90-day suspension from the program, with repeat offenders permanently banned. The policy was announced March 3, 2026, according to TechCrunch AI.
The platform will use AI detection tools and its Community Notes fact-checking system to identify misleading posts. The goal is to combat misinformation during times of war, ensuring users have access to authentic information.
Nikita Bier, head of product at X, supports the policy, emphasizing the importance of authentic information during war. The Creator Revenue Sharing Program incentivizes creators to post engaging content. To participate in the revenue-sharing program, creators must be paid X subscribers.
Critics, however, argue that the policy is a limited fix, as AI-generated misinformation remains prevalent in other contexts like politics and influencer marketing. Some critics claim the Creator Revenue Sharing Program encourages sensationalized or clickbait content.
AI-generated content is often used for political misinformation and deceptive marketing. This policy does not address AI-generated misinformation outside of armed conflicts. The move highlights the platform's ongoing struggle to balance creator incentives with content integrity.
Why It Matters
This policy reflects growing concerns about AI-generated misinformation, particularly during sensitive events like armed conflicts. It highlights the challenges platforms face in balancing creator incentives with content integrity, especially as AI tools become more accessible and sophisticated.
The policy's limitations in addressing broader AI-generated misinformation raise questions about the platform's commitment to combating all forms of AI-driven deception.
The Bottom Line
X's new policy is a step toward combating AI-generated misinformation in specific contexts, but it does not address the broader issue of AI-driven deception across the platform.
