Warner Asks Platforms for Details About Combating Fake AI Content

Tech companies should share concrete examples of how they’re detecting and identifying AI-generated synthetic content, Senate Intelligence Committee Chairman Mark Warner, D-Va., said Tuesday. Warner sent letters to every company that signed the Tech Accord to Combat Deceptive Use of AI in 2024 Elections. Signers include Amazon, Google, IBM, LinkedIn, Microsoft, Meta, OpenAI, Snap, TikTok and X. He asked them to describe how they’re labeling synthetic content, the resources devoted to the effort, communication with candidates, detection tools and third-party collaboration. “While the public pledge demonstrated your company’s willingness to constructively engage on this front, ultimately the impact of the Tech Accord will be measured in the efficacy -- and durability -- of the initiatives and protection measures you adopt,” he wrote.
