White House Takes Action to Combat Deepfakes and AI Scams

Business

The White House is taking action to combat deepfakes and AI scams by setting an example for content authentication and security. Through President Biden’s Executive Order on AI, federal agencies will partner with the Department of Commerce to develop tools for authenticating AI-generated content. Watermarking is one aspect of this initiative, but the details are yet to be revealed. The EU has also released its own AI regulations in the form of the Artificial Intelligence Act. The White House aims to protect privacy and advance AI ethics through the development of cryptographic tools and the evaluation of privacy techniques. These efforts reflect the commitment of the White House to address the risks and consequences associated with AI technology.
