openletter net please enable javascript to view this website learn how to enable javascript about empower change with open letters sign public letters that rally people around the world s most critical challenges signatures appear immediately upon signing and then undergo peer review to ensure authenticity disrupting the deepfake supply chain a call for new laws and regulations to protect everyone from the harms of deepfakes february 21 2024 1 686 signatures sign this letter context many experts have warned that artificial intelligence ai could cause significant harm to humanity if not handled responsibly 1 2 3 4 the impact of ai is compounded significantly by its ability to imitate real humans in the statement below deepfakes refers to non consensual or grossly misleading ai generated voices images or videos that a reasonable person would mistake as real this does not include slight alterations to an image or voice nor innocuous entertainment or satire that is easily recognized as synthetic today deepfakes often involve sexual imagery fraud or political disinformation since ai is progressing rapidly and making deepfakes much easier to create safeguards are needed for the functioning and integrity of our digital infrastructure statement deepfakes are a growing threat to society and governments must impose obligations throughout the supply chain to stop the proliferation of deepfakes new laws should fully criminalize deepfake child pornography even when only fictional children are depicted establish criminal penalties for anyone who knowingly creates or knowingly facilitates the spread of harmful deepfakes and require software developers and distributors to prevent their audio and visual products from creating harmful deepfakes and to be held liable if their preventive measures are too easily circumvented if designed wisely such laws could nurture socially responsible businesses and would not need to be excessively burdensome reasons not all signers will have the same reasons for supporting the statement above and they may not all agree on the content below nonetheless at least some early signers were motivated by one or more of the following points nonconsensual pornography ai generated pornography is a rapidly growing industry 5 6 7 8 and many targets are minors 9 10 11 one report 12 found that deepfake pornography makes up 98 of all deepfake videos online following a 400 increase in deepfake sexual content from 2022 to 2023 reaching monthly traffic exceeding 34 million in 2023 with 99 percent of those targeted being women this follows a pre existing trend in technology facilitated gender based violence where 58 of young women and girls globally have experienced online harassment on social media platforms 13 with disproportionate impact experienced on the basis of gender race ethnicity sexual orientation religion and other factors 12 13 fraud deepfake fraud for impersonation and identity theft is a threat to both individuals and businesses ai can make convincing deepfake videos of private individuals using as little as one photo 14 deepfake fraud reportedly increased by 3000 in 2023 15 elections with half of the world s population facing elections soon the widespread creation and proliferation of deepfakes is a growing threat to democratic processes around the world 16 true to life deepfakes of celebrities 17 18 19 and political figures 20 21 are already spreading rapidly practicality on a positive note it is possible for cameras to generate tamper proof digital seals on unaltered photographs and videos of the real world using cryptographic signature techniques similar to website certificates and login credentials if broadly employed these seals would allow anyone to use open source authentication apps to verify that a properly signed photo or video is authentic 22 23 device manufacturers software developers and media companies should work together and popularize these or similar content authentication methods urgency unprecedented ai progress is making deepfake creation fast cheap and easy the total number of deepfakes has grown by 550 from 2019 to 2023 24 inadequate laws current laws do not adequately target and limit deepfake production and dissemination 5 and even requirements on creators who are often underage are ineffective the whole deepfake supply chain should be held accountable just as they are for malware and child pornography mass confusion for a modern society to function people need to have access to believable authentic information misleading the public through the use of ai should be regulated and enforced through specific formalized laws it s becoming harder and harder to know what is real on the internet and lines need to be drawn to protect our ability to recognize real human beings performers as audience members we delight in the feats of real human performers in dance film magic music sports and theater if broadcast entertainment becomes saturated with deepfakes the connection between audience and performers will erode and deepfakes will unfairly displace the people whose works were used to train ai in the first
