New opportunities for distorting the truth and spreading disinformation have evolved throughout human history, starting from the Stone Age. While artificial intelligence represents the latest avenue for such practices, it is by no means the first.   Deception and falsehoods have been a part of human communication since the emergence of language, which may date back tens of thousands or even millions of years. Although there is no tangible evidence of Stone Age cave paintings depicting dishonesty, the ability to speak undoubtedly facilitated occasional deceit.

As the field of artificial intelligence (AI) continues to expand and evolve, policymakers are grappling with how to regulate these technologies in a way that protects individuals' rights and safety. The European Union (EU) is at the forefront of these efforts, with the recent announcement of strict new rules that will apply to a range of AI systems, including ChatGPT, the chat robot that has been making headlines in recent months. ChatGPT in the Crosshairs of EU's Proposed AI Regulations The EU's proposed regulations for AI use a risk-based approach, with systems classified into four groups: unacceptable risk, high risk, limited risk, and minimum risk. The most stringent rules will apply to systems that fall into the unacceptable and high-risk categories, which include critical infrastructure, surgery, immigration, and border management, among others. These systems must meet strict requirements before they are released to the market, and fines of up to €30 million or 6% of ...

In an unexpected move, both the US and China have announced new regulations regarding the development and deployment of artificial intelligence (AI). Despite being fierce rivals in the tech trade, both countries share a common concern over the accountability and potential abuse of AI. On Tuesday, the National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA), a branch of the US Department of Commerce, issued a formal public request for input on what policies should shape an AI accountability ecosystem. The request includes questions about data access, measuring accountability, and how approaches to AI might change across different industry sectors such as employment or healthcare. Meanwhile, China's Cyberspace Administration (CAC) released a draft set of regulations for AI, which cover topics such as data validation, discrimination prevention, and security assessments. Companies developing AI tools will need to submit security assessments to the government before making them...
