"The generative AI industry will be worth about A$22 trillion by 2030,
according to the CSIRO. These systems – of which ChatGPT is currently the best
known – can write essays and code, generate music and artwork, and have entire
conversations. But what happens when they’re turned to illegal uses?
Last week, the streaming community was rocked by a headline that links back to
the misuse of generative AI. Popular Twitch streamer Atrioc issued an apology
video, teary eyed, after being caught viewing pornography with the superimposed
faces of other women streamers.
The “deepfake” technology needed to Photoshop a celebrity’s head on a porn
actor’s body has been around for a while, but recent advances have made it much
harder to detect.
And that’s the tip of the iceberg. In the wrong hands, generative AI could do
untold damage. There’s a lot we stand to lose, should laws and regulation fail
to keep up."
