"As the world is increasingly flooded with deepfakes, the European Union is
taking action to help people distinguish what is real and what is not.
It recently started enforcing transparency obligations for tech companies which
require them to clearly label any photos, videos and audio which are created
using their artificial intelligence (AI) systems and designed to look
authentic.
This is a step up from the approach of other countries, such as Australia,
which only recommend AI developers mark AI-generated content to help people
identify it. This matters because research suggests that when confronted with
sophisticated AI-generated content, our ability to distinguish fake from real
can be little better than a coin-toss.
But will the EU’s approach actually work? And could requiring the labelling of
AI-generated content have unintended consequences? Could it potentially make us
more vulnerable to the very content designed to deceive us?"
