DEEPFAKE: “AI can make it harder to distinguish between fact and fiction, which carries both societal and individual risks,” the company said.
TikTok officials recently announced their intention to regulate the use of artificial intelligence (AI) on the social network. Among the measures taken is the prohibition since Tuesday of images showing private persons generated by an AI such as ChatGPT or DALL-E. However, the process remains authorized for public persons, except for political or financial purposes.
“Trust and Responsibility”
“We want everyone to know they can access trusted information, discover original content, and engage with genuine people. This is a fundamental element in creating a community of trust and responsibility,” said the management team of the Chinese company in a press release.
This announcement comes at a time when the company is criticized in many countries and even banned on the smartphones of government employees. With its decision, TikTok could try to project a more reliable platform image in the face of the risk of image manipulation. “AI can make it harder to distinguish between fact and fiction, which carries both societal and individual risks,” the company commented.
