SELANGOR (July 14): Social media platform TikTok introduced a new in-app hub where users can learn practical skills to be able to spot artificial intelligence (AI)-generated content (AIGC).
In the in-app hub, which was revealed during an online media briefing on July 14, users can learn skills such as how to label videos as AIGC, how TikTok identifies AI content, and how to spot AI content.
The hub is already available on the platform in Malaysia. It is set to be released worldwide in August.
The platform also has over three billion videos labelled as "AI-generated" as of today and has removed a total of 86 million spam accounts in the first three months of 2026.
“Together with industry partners like the National Association for Media Literacy Education and Henry Ajder, we have created a new safety centre guide to help our community navigate AI tools and AI-generated content safely and responsibly,” said Tom C Varghese artificial intelligence lead at TikTok in his speech. Ajder is a renowned expert in the field of generative AI.
“We are also launching a new in-app literacy hub, where people can learn responsible AI skills directly from creators and partners who are promoting safe and responsible AI content generation,” said Tom.
He added that in the coming weeks, TikTok will roll out additional tools, which include improved detection systems to tackle AI-spam accounts more effectively and easily in terms of topics like politics, financial advice, historical atrocities and medical content.
On the platform’s AI Literacy Fund launched in November last year, Tom said that TikTok decided to double the commitment to the fund from US$2 million (RM8.16 million) to more than US$4 million. The fund will be used to create responsible AI-safety content on the platform’s "For You" feed.
“Since this fund first launched, educational content from AI experts has accumulated over 200 million views. This really matters because AI literacy can't live only in policy papers, panels or technical reports. Those are important, but people also need information in places where they're actually encountering AI-generated content,” said Tom.
