Instagram boss says ‘it’s more effective on real fingerprints than fake media’

Instagram CEO Adam Mosseri expects AI content to surpass non-AI images and discussed the implications for the platform and users.

Mosseri shared his thoughts on the broad trends expected to shape Instagram in 2026. “Everything that makes creators valuable — the ability to be real, to connect, to have an inimitable voice — is now suddenly accessible to anyone with the right tools,” he wrote. “The feed is starting to fill up with everything that’s been done.” He added: “There is already an increasing number of people who believe, as I do, that it will be more useful to point fingers at real media than fake sources.”

Mosseri doesn’t see the risk that this will alienate many photographers and other creators who are already frustrated with the app – it looks like Instagram is leaning on an AI firehose. And hey: whatever keeps its users using it.

Mosseri suggests that many of the complaints stem from an outdated idea of ​​what Instagram is. The “polished” square footage diet, he says, is “dead.” Instead of trying to “make everyone look like a professional photographer,” Mosseri says more “raw” and “unpleasant” photos will be a way for creators to show they’re real — not AI.

Some big news (and deals) this morning

First, Samsung.

CES starts this weekend. We have a full preview that we’ll update once the full show gets underway, but the big tech announcements will likely focus on chips (ah, AI) and new TV technology (ah, CES). Intel is finally releasing its Panther Lake chips (Core Ultra Series 3) – the first to release the company’s 18A processor. With a 50 percent performance boost, Intel needs to prove it can still compete with NVIDIA and AMD. Meanwhile, NVIDIA’s Jensen Huang will deliver a keynote at the Las Vegas show, while AMD’s Lisa Su teases the Ryzen 9000 series refresh and more.

This year’s TV is Micro RGB. Samsung will go big – literally – with a Micro RGB system that spans 55 to 115 inches. LG, on the other hand, has its Micro RGB Evo panels, boasting more than a thousand dimming points for that elusive “perfect” contrast. We’ll be in Vegas to separate the legitimate, exciting new technology from the marketing fluff and AI assistant tchotchkes. And remember me talking about the CES celebrity show? Well, will.i.am is back at CES, this time he’s surprisingly involved with the . Check it out on your CES bingo card.
