Meta's plan to stop AI from ruining elections is about to get its first big test

• Meta is taking steps against AI abuse ahead of the EU's Parliament election.
• The company is adding labels to AI content and new ad restrictions to improve transparency. 
• The company invested over $20 billion into safety and security since 2016.

Meta says it's been working hard to prevent a rehash of the 2016 election, when Facebook became a harvesting ground of misinformation.

Now, the EU Parliament elections will put the social networking platform to the test.

Meta released a statement on Sunday outlining a new plan to ensure election integrity with the EU Parliament elections taking place June 6 through 9.
