"OpenAI Announces Plans to Combat Misinformation Amid 2024 Elections"

OpenAI, the developer of the AI chatbot ChatGPT and the image generator DALL-E has recently announced new measures to prevent abuse and misinformation ahead of big elections this year.  The firm announced that it was collaborating with the National Association of Secretaries of State (NASS), the oldest non-partisan professional organization for public officials in the US, to prevent the use of ChatGPT for misinformation ahead of the US Presidential Election in November.  To prevent deepfakes, OpenAI said it will implement the Coalition for Content Provenance and Authenticity’s (C2PA) digital credentials for images generated by DALL-E 3, the latest version of its AI-powered image generator.  C2PA is a project of the Joint Development Foundation, a Washington-based non-profit that aims to tackle misinformation and manipulation in the digital age by implementing cryptographic content provenance standards.  Finally, OpenAI said it was experimenting with a provenance classifier, a new tool for detecting images generated by DALL-E.  OpenAI noted that internal testing has shown promising early results, even where images have been subject to common types of modifications.
