A coalition of over 300 technology, AI and digital ethics experts worldwide advocate for government intervention to combat deepfakes, citing concerns over their societal impact.
Over 300 experts in the fields of technology, artificial intelligence (AI), digital ethics and child safety from around the world have come together to sign an open letter urging governments to take “immediate action” to tackle deepfakes.
The letter, released on Feb. 21 and titled “Disrupting the Deepfake Supply Chain,” urges governments, policymakers and political leaders to “impose obligations” in the supply chain to halt the proliferation of deepfakes.
It lays out three main courses of action, the first being to fully criminalize deepfake child pornography – even with fictional children.
