The news regs guard against things like social scoring and reltime AI facial recognition used in public (with the exception of law enforcement, of couurse) and also provisions to label content generated with AI as such (kind of like the cookie law). Politicians don't want AI generated videos of themselves making propaganda statements.
In fact there was recently a very streamlined and professional Russian propaganda campaign in Frsnce, concerning a tax to raise money for Ukraine. Of course it's all phony.
- CyrsBel 3y agoWe should not be so dependent on one person that if they are compromised because of deepfakes everything collapses. People need to be taught to have more patience and to question questionable things like that. Give the benefit of the doubt. And realize that penalizing regular people's access to something good or necessary because of bad actors won't hurt the bad actors. Nothing in this legislation provides teeth against what you're describing. There are also other strategies that explicitly do not involve banning access. Rather, encourage and leverage access. When everyone has deepfaking capabilities just because of fun filters in snapchat, it's encoded into the social contract from a young age not to abuse that except in jest. There are paper and log trails all over the place when these services run. A deepfake being created means a deepfake is detectable.
- petre 3y agoWell, what did you expect? They're just policymakers trying to do 'something', like they did with the cookie law. People are bombarded with information and no longer know how to discern truth from government sanctioned or rogue actor propaganda. If one repeats the message long enough, it becomes undiscernable from truth.
