Here’s OpenAI’s big plan to combat election misinformation

TikTok might have entertained you with a cheeky deepfake of Timothee Chalamet sitting on Leonardo DiCaprio’s lap, but OpenAI isn’t here for that kind of shenanigans. In light of the looming global elections, OpenAI has decided to crack down on the misuse of its AI tools for campaigning, voter suppression, and misinformation.

The Wall Street Journal reported on OpenAI’s policy update, which prohibits the use of its tools to impersonate candidates, local governments, or for campaigns and lobbying. Misrepresenting the voting process or discouraging voting is also strictly off-limits.

Not stopping there, OpenAI plans to integrate digital credentials from the Coalition for Content Provenance and Authenticity into images generated by its Dall-E tool. Microsoft, Amazon, Adobe, and Getty are also part of this campaign against misinformation through AI-generated visuals.”
