Adam Mosseri said in a podcast interview that public frustration and anger toward AI will intensify over the next few years, especially in creative fields. He said Instagram does not rank AI content differently from other posts but admitted the platform likely doesn't rank AI content 'as well as' non-AI content, and that it is now requiring AI accounts to label themselves.
OpenAI updated ChatGPT so that requests for images depicting election interference or content that might discourage voting are rendered only in an illustrated or cartoon style, not as photorealistic images. The policy, detailed in an Oct. 20 update, still generates the content if it meets other guidelines, but blocks photorealism specifically for election-related imagery. CNET tested this by asking ChatGPT to depict ICE officers at polling places and faulty voting machines, finding the chatbot refused photorealistic versions each time.
A verified Instagram fan account with over a million followers posted an AI-generated photo of actress Mia Goth wearing a shirt mocking her ex Shia LaBeouf, shortly after her divorce filing became public. The image gained nearly 500,000 likes before being identified as fake, and Google's AI Overview repeated the fabricated narrative as fact when users searched for the story.
Giorgia Meloni has submitted an application to the EUIPO to trademark her voice, including a four-second recording of her saying 'Io sono Giorgia.' This move aims to prevent unauthorized AI-generated deepfakes of her identity. Several celebrities and performers worldwide are taking similar steps to protect their likenesses from AI misuse.
Many states have passed laws requiring disclosure or banning deceptive AI-generated political content, especially close to elections. However, these measures vary widely and often rely on after-the-fact remedies like labeling or litigation rather than preventing fabricated videos from spreading in the first place.
Meta's Oversight Board issued decisions on two cases involving AI-generated videos of real people—one showing a Scottish politician making inflammatory remarks he never said, another mocking a menstrual health volunteer. In both instances, Meta failed to label the content as AI-generated and only acted after the Board intervened, despite user reports and appeals being automatically dismissed beforehand.
China's Supreme People's Court published new guidance directing lower courts on how to handle civil disputes stemming from AI misuse, covering deepfake video and audio, sexualized synthetic content, financial fraud, digital privacy violations, and algorithmic pricing based on surveillance. The 24-article opinion follows an earlier ruling against a company that used AI to force out an employee, and aims to give judges a consistent framework for these emerging cases.
