THE Instagram one of the largest social networks in the world, is preparing for a new era of global connectivity and creativity driven by artificial intelligence. In an exclusive interview with CNN Brett Westervelt, VP Global Design from the platform, shared insights about the network’s future and how it is evolving to meet the needs of its more than 2 billion active users.
Westervelt stressed that Instagram, originally a simple social photo sharing network, has become a complex ecosystem that unites creativity, commerce and personal connections. “Instagram is not as simple today as it was on the 1st, but we see it as a platform that still brings people together about creativity, just like what it was at the beginning,” he said.
Innovation with responsibility
One of the most exciting developments mentioned by Westervelt is real -time translation technology, which will allow content creators to achieve global audiences, regardless of linguistic barriers. “I think the thing that is very exciting about this is that it can leave a creator in Brazil or anywhere in the world to reach people everywhere in the world, despite the language they speak,” he explained.
In addition, the company is focused on addressing concerns about mental health and excessive use of the platform. Westervelt has revealed that Instagram has developed more than 30 tools to help users manage their time and control content they see, including features such as “taking a break” and sensitive content controls.
THE FUTURE OF HUMAN CONNECTION
Looking to the future, Westervelt emphasized Instagram’s commitment to remain at the forefront of human creativity and connection. “We really want Instagram to be a place that represents creativity in the world,” he said, adding that the platform will continue to focus on authentic content and closer interactions.
With the advancement of artificial intelligence, Instagram expects to offer new forms of creative expression and global connectivity, maintaining a balance between innovation and social responsibility. The continuous evolution of the platform promises to further transform the way people connect, create and share content worldwide.
