AI deepfakes protection or internet freedom threat?

Critics fear that the revised No Fakes law has turned from Deepfakes from artificial intelligence to comprehensive control forces.
What appeared to be a reasonable attempt to treat Deepfakes that have been created from artificial intelligence have joined something more worrisome, according to digital rights defenders. It now aims to prevent the unauthorized digital reproduction of people, and maintains safe entertainment (without fake)-originally aims to prevent unauthorized digital reproduction for people-now by changing how the Internet works mainly.
The bill expanding alarm bells throughout the technology community. Just protecting celebrities from fake videos has exceeded to create a comprehensive control framework.
From reasonable guarantees to a heavy approach
The initial idea was not completely misleading: to create protection against artificial intelligence systems that generate fake videos of real people without permission. We have all seen that disturbing deep online.
But instead of formulating narrow and targeted measures, legislators chose what the Fricity Electronic Foundation “Federal Photo Licensing System” has chosen by reasonable protection.
“The updated draft law is doubled on this initial wrong approach,” EF is noticed, “by assigning a new infrastructure for control of this system, not only includes pictures, but the products and services used to create them.”
What is particularly concerned is the NO Fakes law condition for almost every Internet platform to implement systems that not only remove content after receiving removal notifications, but also prevents similar content from loading again. Basically, the platforms are forced to publish content filters that have proven unreliable in other contexts.
Cooling innovation
Perhaps most of them in relation to the artificial intelligence sector is how the No Fakes law targets the same tools. The revised bill will not follow harmful content; It is possible that it will close the development platforms and all software tools that can be used to create unauthorized images.
This approach seems to remind us of trying to prohibit text processors because someone may use one to write the advertising content. The draft law includes some restrictions (it must be “tools, for example, mainly designed” for making unauthorized symmetry or other limited commercial uses) but these differences are subject to interpretation.
Small startups in the UK can find ventures to generate Amnesty International’s pictures themselves in expensive legal battles based on false allegations long before getting an opportunity to establish themselves. Meanwhile, technological giants with the armies of lawyers can improve such storms, and perhaps their domination.
Anyone who deals with YouTube’s content system or similar copyright filtering tools know how they can be insecure in a frustrating way. These systems routinely refer to legitimate content such as musicians who perform their songs or creators who use materials under the provisions of fair dealing.
The No Fakes Law effectively impose similar liquidation systems online. Although it includes sculpting points for satirical simulation, mockery and comments, these distinctions have proven almost impossible.
“These systems are often similar to similar things but are not similar,” EFF explains, “Like two different people who play the same part of the music of the public domain.”
For smaller platforms without Google’s resources, the application of these expensive filters may be proven. Possible result? Many employees may be simply to avoid legal risks.
In fact, one may expect major technology companies to oppose such a complete organization. However, many have been clearly calm. Some industry monitors point out that this is not a coincidence – the higher giants can easily accommodate compliance costs that crush young competitors.
“Perhaps it is not a coincidence that some of these giants are well with this new version of No Fakes”, EFF notes.
This pattern is repeated through the history of technology planning – what appears to be mostly organized in major technology by strengthening the market site by creating very expensive barriers so that newcomers are overcome.
There is no fake threatening an unknown speech
It was placed in legislation in legislation is another disturbing judgment that can display unknown internet users based on just allegations. The draft law will allow anyone to obtain a call order from the court of the court – without reviewing or judicial evidence – forcing services to disclose information about users accused of creating unauthorized symmetrical copies.
History shows such mechanisms mature of abuse. Critics who have valid points can be detected and may be harassed when their suspension includes screenshots or quotes from people trying to silence them.
This weakness can have a deep impact on legitimate criticism and decline in violations. Imagine exposure to poor behavior to companies only to detect your identity through a rubber -style summons.
This payment for additional regulations seems strange because congress recently passed the Take It Download, which already targets images that involve intimate or sexual content. This legislation has sparked privacy concerns, especially about monitoring encrypted communications.
Instead of assessing the effects of current legislation, it appears that legislators are determined to move forward with broader restrictions that can reshape Internet governance for decades to come.
The coming weeks will prove critical as the No Fakes law moves during the legislative process. For anyone who appreciates the freedom of the Internet, innovation and balanced curricula of emerging technology challenges, this is already a close viewing.
