AI's Detection gap Opens new Vulnerabilities

Subramaniam Vincent, director, journalism and media ethics, quoted by Axios.

Megan Morrone at Axios reports, "humans are not great at detecting AI-generated text, images and video right now, and as AI models improve, detection will only get harder."

To protect these humans from themselves, lawmakers have introduced policies around the use and disclosure of synthetic material in political ads.

Subramaniam Vincent, director of journalism and media ethics, eludes to the complexity of such policies. "For disclosure rules to work, they must 'have teeth,' and they need real and timely enforcement."
