The European Union is leaning on signatories to its Code of Practice on Online Disinformation to label deepfakes and other AI-generated content.<\/p>\n
In remarks yesterday following a meeting with the 40+ signatories to the Code, the EU\u2019s values and transparency commissioner, Vera Jourova, said those signed up to combat disinformation should put in place technology to recognize AI content and clearly label it to users.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe new AI technologies can be a force for good and offer new avenues for increased efficiency and creative expression. But, as always, we have to mention the dark side of this matter and they also present new risks and the potential for negative consequences for society,\u201d she warned. \u201cAlso when it comes to the creation of and dissemination of disinformation.<\/p>\n
\u201cAdvanced chatbots like ChatGPT are capable of creating complex, seemingly well substantiated content and visuals in a matter of seconds. Image generators can create authentic looking pictures of events that never occurred. Voice generating software can imitate the voice of a person based on a sample of a few seconds. The new technologies raise fresh challenges for the fight against disinformation as well. So today I asked the signatories to create a dedicated and separate track within the code to discuss it.\u201d<\/p>\n
