Microsoft President Brad Smith said his biggest concern about artificial intelligence is the emergence of deepfakes. Smith called for steps to be taken to ensure people know when photos or videos are real and when they are fake.

Smith also called for licensing critical AI software, while restricting these licenses to the need to protect all forms of security. Lawmakers in Washington have struggled for weeks to agree on what laws to enact to control AI as companies large and small race to bring versatile AI to market. The startup behind ChatGPT artificial intelligence software said he was "very concerned" that AI could affect election integrity.
