Privacy-focused search engine DuckDuckGo has launched a new search filter that allows users to prevent AI-generated images being shown in image searches. The feature was added after users complained that AI images make it harder to find relevant results.
The setting can be found under the “Images” tab, where a new option called “AI images” lets users choose to show or hide AI content.
The filter is based on open block lists, such as uBlock Origin and Huge AI Blocklist. Because of this, the filtering isn’t comprehensive—some AI-generated images may still make it through in search results.
DuckDuckGo’s philosophy is that “you should decide for yourself how much AI you want in your life—or if you want any at all.” The company has also shared that more search filters are planned for the future, but hasn’t shed any light on what those other filters might be just yet.
