Major tech companies, including Meta, Microsoft, and TikTok, have signed a pledge to combat AI-generated content designed to mislead voters in upcoming elections.
This effort aims to identify, label, and control deceptive AI-produced images, videos, and audio.
Companies will collaborate on methods to watermark or tag suspicious content at its source, while also developing detection and removal strategies on their platforms.
This follows warnings from European officials about the potential risks of AI misuse in elections.
The agreement comes amid rising concerns about deepfakes, such as a recent robocall impersonating Joe Biden and AI-generated speeches from a jailed Pakistani politician.
This initiative marks a step towards safeguarding democratic processes from harmful AI manipulation.
