OpenAIโs flawed plan to flag deepfakes ahead of 2024 elections
As the US moves toward criminalizing deepfakesโdeceptive AI-generated audio, images, and videos that are increasingly hard to discern from authentic content onlineโtech companies have rushed to roll out tools to help everyone better detect AI content.
But efforts so far have been imperfect, and experts fear that social media platforms may not be ready to handle the ensuing AI chaos during major global elections in 2024โdespiteย tech giants committing to making tools specifically to combat AI-fueled election disinformation. The best AI detection remains observant humans, who, by paying close attention to deepfakes, can pick up on flaws like AI-generated people with extra fingers or AI voices that speak without pausing for a breath.
Among the splashiest tools announced this week, OpenAI shared details today about a new AI image detection classifier that it claims can detect about 98 percent of AI outputs from its own sophisticated image generator, DALL-E 3. It also "currently flags approximately 5 to 10 percent of images generated by other AI models," OpenAI's blog said.
Novel LLMjacking Attacks Target Cloud-Based AI Models
It was probably inevitable. Threat researchers detected bad actors using stolen credentials to target LLMs, with the eventual goal of selling the access to other hackers.

Downranking wonโt stop Googleโs deepfake porn problem, victims say
After backlash over Google's search engine becoming the primary traffic source for deepfake porn websites, Google has started burying these links in search results, Bloomberg reported.
Over the past year, Google has been driving millions to controversial sites distributing AI-generated pornography depicting real people in fake sex videos that were created without their consent, Similarweb found. While anyone can be targetedโpolice already are bogged down with dealing with a flood of fake AI child sex imagesโfemale celebrities are the most common victims. And their fake non-consensual intimate imagery is more easily discoverable on Google by searching just about any famous name with the keyword "deepfake," Bloomberg noted.
Google refers to this content as "involuntary fake" or "synthetic pornography." The search engine provides a path for victims to report that content whenever it appears in search results. And when processing these requests, Google also removes duplicates of any flagged deepfakes.
Robert F. Kennedy Jr. sues Meta, citing chatbotโs reply as evidence of shadowban
In a lawsuit that seems determined to ignore that Section 230 exists, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has sued Meta for allegedly shadowbanning his million-dollar documentary, Who Is Bobby Kennedy? and preventing his supporters from advocating for his presidential campaign.
According to Kennedy, Meta is colluding with the Biden administration to sway the 2024 presidential election by suppressing Kennedy's documentary and making it harder to support Kennedy's candidacy. This allegedly has caused "substantial donation losses," while also violating the free speech rights of Kennedy, his supporters, and his film's production company, AV24.
Meta had initially restricted the documentary on Facebook and Instagram but later fixed the issue after discovering that the film was mistakenly flagged by the platforms' automated spam filters.
