Medial

Cutting-edge technology interventions should be deployed to combat the spread of deepfakes and misinformation, with penalty provisions acting as a deterrent, according to Amol Kulkarni, Director of Research at global think tank CUTS International. Kulkarni emphasized the importance of allowing internet users to verify the authenticity of content, particularly during election seasons, and highlighted the role of credible fact-checkers and trusted sources. While transparency is crucial, Kulkarni noted the need to balance information overload and implement technological solutions to tackle deepfakes and misinformation effectively. The Indian government recently issued advisories to label AI-generated content and prevent the hosting of unlawful material.

OpenAI has introduced Sora, a text-to-video generator that can create shockingly realistic videos. Sora is currently in testing with a small group of researchers and creatives before a wider public release. It is unique because it goes beyond image generation and incorporates a "data-driven physics engine" to render videos based on physics calculations. Users can input a prompt and select between photorealistic or animated styles to generate impressive videos. However, Sora still has some limitations with understanding cause and effect and lacks spatial awareness. OpenAI is also focusing on safety measures to prevent the creation of misleading or harmful content. The potential implications of this powerful AI video generator on the film industry and the issue of deepfakes are significant.

Additionally, the Commission has questioned LinkedIn on the use of personal information for targeted advertising. The formal probe against AliExpress could lead to significant fines or even a ban if it is found to have violated the DSA. This action follows the European Parliament's adoption of a law aimed at regulating artificial intelligence.
