Canada Raises Alarms on AI-Generated Deepfake Disinformation<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS), Canada's principal national intelligence agency, expressed apprehension regarding disseminating false information via the Internet employing deepfakes generated by artificial intelligence (AI).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The increasing “realism of deepfakes” and the “inability to recognize or detect them” are perceived by Canada as a possible danger to its citizens. The CSIS report detailed occurrences in which deepfakes were employed to cause injury to individuals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDeepfakes and other advanced AI technologies threaten democracy as certain actors seek to capitalize on uncertainty or perpetuate \u2018facts\u2019 based on synthetic and\/or falsified information. This will be exacerbated further if governments are unable to \u2018prove\u2019 that their official content is real and factual.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n


Additionally, it referred to a deepfake orchestrated by Elon Musk to deceive crypto investors.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Elon Musk's deep fake video promoting a new cryptocurrency scam going viral. The video claims that the trading platform is owned by Elon Musk, and offers 30% returns on crypto deposits. @elonmusk\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n <\/g>\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n <\/clipPath>\r\n <\/defs><\/svg><\/span><\/a> pic.twitter.com\/iJeUvHYc5p<\/use><\/svg><\/span><\/a><\/p>— DogeDesigner (@cb_doge) May 24, 2022<\/use><\/svg><\/span><\/a><\/blockquote> \n\n\n\n

Malevolent entities have employed advanced deepfake videos to deceive unsuspecting cryptocurrency investors into relinquishing their capital since 2022. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Elon Musk cautioned against deepfakes after the exposure of a counterfeit video featuring him endorsing a cryptocurrency platform offering unattainable returns on X (formerly Twitter).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition to privacy breaches, social manipulation, and bias, the Canadian agency identified prejudice and privacy violations as additional issues that AI raises. The department advocates for aligning government policies, directives, and initiatives with the veracity exhibited by deepfakes and synthetic media.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIf governments assess and address AI independently and at their typical speed, their interventions will quickly be rendered irrelevant.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

CSIS<\/use><\/svg><\/span><\/a> advised a collaboration among associate governments, allies, and industry experts to combat the worldwide dissemination of legitimate information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Oct. 30 marked the Group of Seven (G7) industrial countries' consensus on an AI code of conduct for developers, solidifying Canada's determination to engage the allied nations in addressing AI concerns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


As previously documented, the code comprises eleven principles to foster “safe, secure, and trustworthy AI globally” and facilitate the “capture” of AI's benefits while concurrently mitigating and resolving the associated risks.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
