World scrambles to tackle deepfakes amid warnings of information apocalypse

ABC  

Chatbots spouting falsehoods, face-swapping apps crafting porn videos, and cloned voices defrauding companies of millions — the scramble is on to rein in AI deepfakes that have become a misinformation superspreader. Key points: Europol warns that fake videos risk destroying public trust in information and leaving people unable to determine fact from fiction China has launched new rules around deepfakes and the European Union is debating a bill An expert says tools to detect fakes will never catch up to the tools used to create them Artificial intelligence is redefining the proverb "seeing is believing", with a deluge of images created out of thin air and people shown mouthing things they never said in real-looking deepfakes that have eroded online trust. And British campaigner Kate Isaacs, 30, said her "heart sank" when her face appeared in a deepfake porn video that unleashed a barrage of online abuse after an unknown user posted it on Twitter. This week, AI startup ElevenLabs admitted its voice cloning tool could be misused for "malicious purposes" after users posted a deepfake audio purporting to be actor Emma Watson reading Adolf Hitler's biography Mein Kampf. The growing volume of deepfakes may lead to what the European law enforcement agency Europol has described as an "information apocalypse", a scenario where many people are unable to distinguish fact from fiction.
