China interzice deepfake-urile create fără permisiune sau pentru rău

China’s Cyberspace Administration has issued guidelines on how to do deepfakes the right way.

Deepfakes use artificial intelligence to create realistic depictions – usually videos – of humans saying and/or doing things they didn’t say and/or do. They’re controversial outside China for their potential to mislead audiences and create trouble for the people depicted.

Beijingul are în mod clar și îngrijorări cu privire la tehnică, așa cum a emis Administrația Cyberspace (CAC). regulament that prohibit their creation without the subject’s permission, or to depict or utter anything that could be considered as counter to the national interest. Anything counter to socialist values falls under that description, as does any form of “Illegal and harmful information” or using AI-generated humans in an attempt to deceive or slander.

Dar regulile sugerează, de asemenea, că China se așteaptă ca oamenii sintetici să fie folosiți pe scară largă. De exemplu, ele permit utilizarea deepfake-urilor în aplicații precum chatbot-uri. În astfel de scenarii, deepfake-urile trebuie marcate ca creații digitale.

The document also envisages that deepfakes will be used by online publishers, which must take into account China’s myriad other reguli privind conținutul online acceptabil.

Including the one that censpored images of Winnie the Pooh online, as the beloved bear – as depicted by illustrator E. H. Shepard – was felt to resemble, and mock, China’s president-for-probably-life Xi Jinping.

Registrul prin urmare, sugerează că va fi un dezvoltator chinez foarte, foarte curajos care creează un chatbot sau un avatar ursine fotorealist.

The regulations also spell out how the creators of deepfakes – who are termed “deep synthesis service providers” – must take care that their AI/ML models and algorithms are accurate and regularly revised, and ensure the security of data they collect.

Regulile includ, de asemenea, o cerință de înregistrare a utilizatorilor – inclusiv numele lor reale. Pentru că a permite unei persoane necunoscute să se încurce cu deepfakes nu ar fi bine.

The rules are pitched as ensuring that synthesis tech avoids the downsides and delivers benefits to China. Or, as Beijing puts it (albeit in translation), deepfakes must “Promote the healthy development of internet information services and maintain a good ecology of cyberspace.”

Reglementările intră în vigoare la 10 ianuarie 2023. ®
