Sam Altman-led OpenAI seeks to allay election meddling fears in blog post; know how it will do so

[ad_1] Artificial intelligence lab OpenAI published a blog post Monday seeking to address fears that its technology will meddle with elections, as more than a third of the globe prepares to head to the polls this year. The use of AI to interfere with election integrity has been a concern since the Microsoft-backed company released two products: ChatGPT, which can mimic human writing convincingly, and DALL-E, whose technology can be used to create "deepfakes," or realistic-looking images that are fabricated. Those worried include OpenAI's own CEO Sam Altman, who testified in Congress in May that he was "nervous" about generative AI's ability to compromise election integrity through "one-on-one interactive disinformation."The San Francisco-based company said that in the United States, whi...

Microsoft Is Offering to Help US Politicians Crack Down on Deepfakes

[ad_1] Microsoft Corp. is offering US politicians and campaign groups a tool aimed at helping fight the rise of deepfakes ahead of the 2024 presidential election.The new tool will allow parties to authenticate their videos and photos with so-called watermark credentials, Microsoft President Brad Smith said on the company's blog early Wednesday. Using cryptography, the service would create a permanent record of an image or video, allowing anyone on the web to see whether it has been digitally altered or generated using artificial intelligence over time, Smith said. Initially, Microsoft plans to offer the tool for free to political candidates and then may eventually extend it to more groups after the 2024 US elections, a person familiar with the situation said, asking not to be identified...

AI-generated child sexual abuse images could flood the internet. A watchdog is calling for action

Meta and X questioned by lawmakers over lack of rules against AI-generated political deepfakes

Rand Paul sitting on the Capitol steps in a red bathrobe.But what happens next year ahead of a U.S. presidential election?

Now some U.S. lawmakers are calling on social media platforms X, Facebook and Instagram to explain why they aren't doing the same. Two Democratic members of Congress sent a letter Thursday to Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg and X CEO Linda ...

People Are Disinformation’s Biggest Problem, Not AI, Experts Say

[ad_1] Lawmakers, fact-checking organizations and some tech companies are working to combat the threat of a new wave of AI-generated disinformation online, but experts say these efforts are undermined by the public's distrust of institutions and a general lack of literacy in spotting fake images, videos and audio clips online.“Social media and human beings have made it so that even when we come in, fact check and say, ‘nope, this is fake,' people say, ‘I don't care what you say, this conforms to my worldview,'” said Hany Farid, an expert in deepfake analysis and a professor at the University of California, Berkeley. “Why are we living in that world where reality seems to be so hard to grip?” he said. “It's because our politicians, our media outlets and the internet have stoked distrust....
