A series of tweets from various sources highlights the growing concern and legislative response to the proliferation of AI-generated deepfake content. An investigation has revealed the widespread prevalence of deepfake pornography, with research indicating around 200 apps capable of creating fake nudes on a massive scale, resulting in over 600,000 deepfake images. In response, bipartisan legislation, including the Protecting Americans from Deceptive AI Act and the AI PLAN Act, has been introduced in the House requiring the identification and labeling of AI-generated online content. This move aims to combat the risks associated with deepfakes, including misinformation and the spread of fake images. Additionally, initiatives such as 'MisInfo Day' are helping educate the public on spotting and stopping deepfakes. Technological advancements, while beneficial, have opened new avenues for crime and misinformation, prompting lawmakers to develop action plans to strengthen defenses against AI-generated misinformation. Agencies like the FTC and SEC are also taking steps to monitor and regulate companies' use of AI, with the SEC issuing its first AI-related civil penalties.
