Twenty companies, including major American IT companies, have signed an agreement to work together to prevent AI-generated fake videos and audio from negatively impacting elections around the world this year.
The agreement was signed
by
20 companies, including
major IT companies such as Microsoft and Google
, the former Twitter company
Announced.
In light of the fact that there will be a series of elections this year that have a major impact on global affairs, such as the US presidential election, the agreement states that ``the spread of false content generated by AI endangers the integrity of the electoral process by deceiving people.'' "It's going to get worse."
``Protecting the integrity of elections and protecting public trust is a common responsibility and interest regardless of party or country.'' As a countermeasure, the company plans to develop technology that allows users to identify fake videos and audio generated by AI. We are planning to work on development.
Last month, some states in the United States became concerned about fake calls, such as when multiple residents received calls from a voice resembling President Biden's, apparently created using AI, urging them not to vote in the primary election. A major challenge is how to prevent the spread of information.
