Bipartisan legislation introduced in the House Thursday would require the identification and labeling of online images, videos and audio generated using artificial intelligence, the latest effort to rein in rapidly developing technologies that, if misused, could easily deceive and mislead.
AI-generated or not, these images, videos, and audio are protected from such meddling by the 1st amendment.
There is no difference between a machine’s deepfake and a Photoshop fake.
There should not be any rules that target content creation tools in the United States for any reason.
Not sure how having to acknowledge using AI to make something violates the 1st Amendment. Censorship is preventing the dissemination of speech and images. Does this Bill place limits on dissemination?
Because you really won’t be able to tell the difference between what you are told and your lying eyes, because if you aren’t actually there, the visuals may well be lying.
And that goes for politics and non political visuals.
Yes, I totally get the concern. With the advancement of the technology it is too easy to produce something that looks as real as the actual real thing. I don’t know how to combat that and still stay within bounds and, as you said, creating a new law. This one actually requires some statesman like discussion and deep thinking.
If we don’t do something, you won’t be able to believe a thing you see or hear. This example is from two years ago. They have only become more convincing since then. The video of the hosts is AI generated. They didn’t actually sing the song.
The last thing we need is knee jerk legislation. Everyone on all sides needs to be cautious of any video, photo, documents etc that are released without any form of citation or provenance.
