Now, a group of leading tech companies say they are teaming up to address that threat.
More than a dozen tech firms involved in building or using AI technologies pledged on Friday to work together to detect and counter harmful AI content in elections, including deepfakes of political candidates.
Tech companies generally have a less-than-stellar record of self-regulation and enforcing their own policies.
“Every election cycle, tech companies pledge to a vague set of democratic standards and then fail to fully deliver on these promises.
To address the real harms that AI poses in a busy election year … We need robust content moderation that involves human review, labeling and enforcement.”
