Trust & Transparency in the Deepfake Era: Developing an Industry Standard for Digital Content
June 24, 2020
11am to 12:15pm ET
Washington, DC
Featuring Senator Rob Portman (R-OH) and Senator Catherine Cortez Masto (D-NV)
Software-enabled innovation has unleashed a flood of creativity and allowed people to create content, connect, and share their work online in myriad new ways. At the same time, some users take advantage of these tools to create and share inauthentic content. This Software.org virtual policy event examined the emerging paths to address digital disinformation and inauthentic content: What role does detection play? How do we attribute changes in content to their source? And how do we educate consumers to help them understand what’s real?
Participants examined the legislative and regulatory landscape related to inauthentic content and discussed the industry-led Content Authenticity Initiative (CAI) aimed to help people know what they’re seeing online is legitimate.
