Google prohibits the use of AI in creating ‘deepfake’ content on Android

Developers looking to include generative AI in their applications for the Google Play Store must adhere to new policies that aim to prevent unauthorized content creation and provide reporting tools for improving the tool’s functionality. Google has updated its policies to specifically address apps utilizing generative AI, as this technology becomes more common in order to enhance user engagement and experience.

The new policy focuses on apps that generate content, such as chatbots or tools that create images from text descriptions. These apps are required to prohibit or prevent the generation of illegal content, such as fake nude images or deceptive manipulations. Additionally, developers must include internal reporting functions for users to notify when illegal or offensive content is generated, which will help improve content filtering and moderation within the applications.

In order to maintain compliance with Google’s policies for apps using generative AI, developers must ensure that their tools do not create unauthorized content and that they provide reporting tools for users to flag inappropriate content. By implementing these measures, developers can enhance user experience and engagement while adhering to Google’s guidelines for content creation and moderation in generative AI applications.
