"UK General Election: Tech Policy Expert Calls for Law Overhaul to Combat Deepfakes"
Matthew Feeney, head of tech and innovation at the UK-based Centre for Policy Studies, warned of the deepfake threat to election integrity. The tech policy expert emphasized how technology has made deepfakes easier and cheaper to make. In a report titled "Facing Fakes: How Politics and Politicians Can Respond to the Deepfake Age," Feeney calls on the UK government update existing laws rather than create new regulations for Artificial Intelligence (AI) and deepfakes. He also advised the UK government to draw on information from the AI Safety Summits and the AI Safety Institute to create a deepfake taskforce, sponsor more detection contests, and support watermarking technology. This article continues to discuss insights on combatting deepfakes.
