Meta Leaders Say They’re Not Seeing AI Election Disinformation

[ad_1] Meta Platforms Inc. is under immense pressure to ensure that social media content created by artificial intelligence doesn't cause havoc with elections this year. The company's top leaders say they haven't seen that happen yet on their services.“So far, it's been very striking how little these tools have been used on a systemic basis to try to subvert or disrupt these elections,” Nick Clegg, Meta's president of global affairs, said at an event on the company's AI strategy in London on Tuesday. There's still time for that to change. The rapid spread of AI tools capable of generating realistic images, videos or audio clips coincides with a key global election year, with about half the world's population headed to the polls in 2024. Experts fear that AI-generated content could misl...

Microsoft Copilot strengthens safeguards, blocks inappropriate prompts amid AI concerns

[ad_1] In a recent development, Microsoft has taken proactive measures to address concerns surrounding its Copilot tool, known for generating creative content using generative AI. The company appears to have implemented changes to block prompts that were previously associated with the production of violent, sexual, and other inappropriate images.These adjustments come on the heels of an alert from one of Microsoft's own engineers, Shane Jones, who expressed serious reservations about the potential misuse of Microsoft's GAI technology. Jones had recently reached out to the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) detailing his concerns regarding the images generated by Copilot, which he found to be in violation of Microsoft's responsible AI principles.

We need to know how AI firms fight deepfakes

[ad_1] When people fret about artificial intelligence, it's not just due to what they see in the future but what they remember from the past -- notably the toxic effects of social media. For years, misinformation and hate speech evaded Facebook and Twitter's policing systems and spread around the globe. Now deepfakes are infiltrating those same platforms, and while Facebook is still responsible for how bad stuff gets distributed, the AI companies making them have a clean-up role too. Unfortunately, just like the social media firms before them, they're carrying out that work behind closed doors.I reached out to a dozen generative AI firms whose tools could generate photorealistic images, videos, text and voices, to ask how they made sure that their users complied with their rules.(1) Ten...

OpenAI kills off its own AI text detection tool! Shocking reason behind it

[ad_1] In a bid to develop AI classifier tools to distinguish AI-generated content, OpenAI had launched its AI text-detection tool back in March 2023 with great hope.

The tool employed linguistic analysis and assigned a "probability rating" to differentiate between the two sources of text.Challenges in distinguishing human and AI textInitially gaining popularity, the tool has now been discontinued, as it faced significant challenges in accurately distinguishing between human and machine writing. OpenAI acknowledged the "low rate of accuracy" in this crucial task and decided to discontinue the tool. Working Towards a More Accurate FutureIn a recent blog post, OpenAI ...
