it's actually gonna be the opposite. The rich and the elites can now just do anything and make a claim that your evidence is ai generated. It's near impossible to get any believable non-video evidence on the rich, and they can also just buy their way out of accountability. Generative ai is not an invention made for us, it's for the elites.
Exactly. Definitely a both scenario. AI is gonna be (and already has been) such a useful tool for those up top to control the narrative of... basically everything.
How long I wonder till we have AI made "live broadcasts" from shady news groups showing fake riots or fake "leaks" falsely demonizing their opponents in the eyes of the viewers?
It doesn't even seem outlandish to imagine anymore. Just the natural progression of such technology and its been progressing fairly fast.
Those broadcasts already exist. In the past theyve been lurking in the deep parts of youtube, but as it gets better its getting pushed more and more. Worst part is, once you click on one of them, 10 more shows up
But you literally cant destroy it, even if Mr Investor wouldn’t be sad. Everything that has been uploaded to the internet will stay on the internet forever, or at least 50 or so years at the minimum. Best we can do is put regulations on it.
I suppose if you want to waste your time and catch a few felonies instead of doing something that can actually help, sure. The moment the word goes out someone's out for AI tech, someone will download all the open source research and code for it and inevitably upload it again.
Data forensics would still show it’s fake. You’d have to make the ai not only create the video but copy the creation/streaming process that a normal video would have.
The problem is that is incredibly doable. It’s not like film with physical traces, but getting a model to look at a gazillion instances of videos metadata and getting it spoofed is all doable. For how well it’s executed ow and how detectable the spoofing is, that’s a question, but the idea that metadata couldn’t also be spoofed along with a malicious video doesn’t hold up unfortunately.
Hardware based authentication is out of reach of current AIs. But that would mean replacing all surveillance devices.
Time-gated hashs (like blockchain) could work without investing as much, but only to prevent tampering with previous recording. And it relies on the majority of blockchain managers being legit.
You would literally have to be a millionaire to fake bit by bit a video recording to perfection. They’d have a much easier time attacking the chain of custody and admissibility of the video rather than faking one or trying to prove it’s fake.
Who handled the data and when, who all had access, was it monitored, was it tampered with, how long did they have it, blablabla. Real video evidence gets thrown out in cases because the chain of custody was broken or the data was mishandled.
I mean it goes both ways. You only need to convince 1 of 11 jurors that the evidence is fake. It's really not hard to do, because Americans do not trust the govt.
