Instagram head Adam Mosseri says public backlash and negativity toward AI are likely to grow. Speaking about recent incidents involving college students booing tech CEOs at graduations, Mosseri frames the boos as part of broader frustration that extends beyond any single group.
Across coverage, outlets say Mosseri links rising anxiety to concerns about job displacement, how AI-generated content is owned, and whether personal or individual work is being used to train AI models. He also describes Instagram’s stance on AI-generated content as emphasizing quality, rather than focusing on making a strict distinction between AI-made and non-AI content. In one report, the emphasis is on how widespread the dislike is, not limited to young people or creatives; in the other, the focus is on why sentiment is intensifying over the coming years and the issues driving it.
