With the U.S. presidential election behind us, it seems like we may have dodged a bullet on AI-generated misinformation. While there were plenty of AI-generated memes bouncing around the internet, and evidence that AI was used to create some misleading social media posts-including by foreign governments attempting to influence voters-there is so far little indication AI-generated content played a significant role in the election's outcome.
The significant takeaway is that while AI-generated misinformation didn't sway the election, there’s a risk of complacency regarding the need for clear content authenticity standards.
It means we have a bit more time to try to put in place measures that would make it easier for fact-checkers, the news media, and average media consumers to determine if a piece of content is AI-generated.
C2PA is winning out-but it's far from perfect. While there have been a lot of suggestions for authenticating content and recording its provenance information, the industry seems to be coalescing… around C2PA's content credentials.
