IBM News, Wednesday, February 28th, 2024
Deepfakes - realistic AI-generated audio, video, or images that can recreate a person's likeness - are one of the most pressing challenges posed by generative AI, given the potential for bad actors to use it to undermine democracy, exploit artists and performers, and harass and harm everyday people
What this moment requires is both technical and legal solutions. That's why IBM (NYSE: IBM) signed the Tech Accord to Combat Deceptive Use of AI in 2024 Elections (Munich Tech Accord), pledging to help mitigate the risks of AI being used to deceive the public and undermine elections. It's also why IBM has long advocated for regulations that precisely target harmful applications of technology.
