00:00It's Benzinga, bringing Wall Street to Main Street.
00:02Etsy announced Thursday that it will ban AI-generated recipes,
00:06patterns, and instructions from its online marketplace as part of efforts to strengthen
00:10trust among buyers and sellers, according to CNBC. The company will require merchants to
00:16display actual products made using their instructions rather than AI-generated images.
00:22Sellers must also include at least one unedited photo of the item being sold.
00:27Etsy will prohibit bot-generated listings without human involvement, but will continue
00:32allowing AI-generated art when sellers disclose the technology's use and demonstrate their
00:37role in creating the work. The changes follow concerns from buyers who struggle to identify
00:42AI-generated products and sellers who worry about their work appearing alongside misleading listings.
