- 0:51Speaker 1: So, without further ado, let's dig in.
- 0:57Speaker 1: Yes, arizona Lawmaker uses ChatGPT to define deep fakes and new legislation.
- 1:07Speaker 1: Let's sit for a second.
- 1:15Speaker 1: You heard that right.
- 1:16Speaker 1: You heard that right In a pioneering move Arizona State Representative Alexander Kaludin.
- 1:25Speaker 1: Arizona state representative alexander colluden I think I said that right leverage the power of artificial intelligence to craft a new law regulating deep fakes in elections.
- 1:34Speaker 1: Colluden turned to chat gpt an ai chatbot we all know to define digital impersonation.
- 1:43Speaker 1: In his bill, kaludin, a Republican, admitted that he struggled with the technology jargon necessary for the legislation.
- 1:52Speaker 1: I thought let me just ask the expert.
- 1:54Speaker 1: He said the chatbot's definition closely mirrors the language in the final bill.
- 2:00Speaker 1: Kaludin's proposal received unanimous support in both legislative chambers and was recently signed into law by the Democratic governor.
- 2:09Speaker 1: The legislation offers candidates or residents in Arizona a judicial process to verify the authenticity of suspected deepfakes, thus providing a way to counter AI-driven misinformation.
- 2:25Speaker 1: How do we know that this chat GPT generated bill wasn't misinformed or misinformation?
- 2:33Speaker 1: How do we know that?
- 2:34Speaker 1: Do we check with chat GPT?
- 2:36Speaker 1: On his chat GPT and I quote, I am by no means a computer scientist Kluden explained I needed to ensure the definition was accurate and comprehensive.
- 2:51Speaker 1: Chatgpt provided the baseline and I added protections for human rights and exclusions for comedy, satire and artistic expression.
- 3:00Speaker 1: Kluden has found ChatGPT useful in other legislative tasks helping draft amendments and saving time.
- 3:08Speaker 1: Well gosh, that's the first time I've ever heard that line before.
- 3:15Speaker 1: I lost my train of thought.
- 3:24Speaker 1: Where am I?
- 3:25Speaker 1: Hello, hello.
- 3:26Speaker 1: He tweeted that in a response to an article about his use of the AI in his legislation.
- 3:33Speaker 1: While the federal government has yet to regulate AI in elections, many states are taking action.
- 3:39Speaker 1: Kaludin's bill offers a unique approach by allowing courts to determine the truthfulness of deepfakes rather than outing or outright banning them.
- 3:48Speaker 1: This method aims to balance free speech rights while addressing the misuse of technology, the misuse of technology.
- 3:57Speaker 1: The misuse of technology, the misuse of techno.
- 4:03Speaker 1: Sorry, the bill includes specific provisions for removing deepfakes that depict sexual acts or nudity, particularly if the person is not a public figure and the publisher knew the content was false.
- 4:18Speaker 1: Unlike other states requiring disclaimers on AI-generated content, gluden's bill provides flexibility.
- 4:26Speaker 1: If a publisher clearly indicates that the content is a deepfake, legal action may not be necessary.
- 4:32Speaker 1: Kluden believes mandatory disclaimers could interfere with the message's impact or humor.
- 4:41Speaker 1: Kluden hopes Arizona's legislation will serve as a model for other states.
- 4:47Speaker 1: He appreciates the role of deep fakes in political discourse, but emphasizes the need for responsible use.
- 4:53Speaker 1: When politicians regulate speech, it's like a fox guarding the hen house, he noted.
- 4:58Speaker 1: I hope other state legislators adopt a similar approach.
- 5:02Speaker 1: End, end quote.
- 5:04Speaker 1: Oh Listen, I'm all for using ChatGPT to save time, give you structure and certain things and ideas and using that.
- 5:20Speaker 1: This is interesting, the honesty.
- 5:23Speaker 1: I can get behind someone who's honest about something like this.
- 5:28Speaker 1: But then, on the other hand, this thing was passed already.
- 5:32Speaker 1: This law was passed and it was basically generated by artificial intelligence.
- 5:37Speaker 1: So my emotions are very mixed here.
- 5:39Speaker 1: I'm not a very political person, but I am interested in the privacy community and your thoughts Because I know this is going to be a hot topic.
