AI enables rapid, large-scale dissemination of false content, undermining trust in systems like democracy. Despite some state actions and federal efforts, there are no comprehensive laws to counteract these threats. Policymakers must enforce regulations to label AI-generated content, protect voters, and ensure public involvement in AI policy decisions to safeguard democracy from these emerging risks.
The world must avoid being overly restrictive in formulating AI regulations, as this could stifle innovation. A balanced, dynamic approach to assessing AI risks is key, exploring new high-risk tech as needed. AI's potential for public opinion manipulation and copyright violations must be curbed, no doubt. However, nations must surely tap its advantages and maximize its benefits for their people.
