Misinformation, Scams, and the Glut of Garbage Content Are Going to Explode with GPT – Are We Ready?

<p>Consumer products using GPT-3 have captured the attention of the tech world and beyond. It can write up news hits on Stock prices, write quick poems about anything you want in the style of Dr. Dre, and might give you the right directions for coding or cooking. It’s fun, extremely impressive, and way too easy.</p>

.@BMLeeJR -- seeing states lead way in CT, CA, OR that are about transparency -- he sees transparency as next big step in regulation. Talks about the sheer scale of AI decision-making is daunting and concerning to people and how transparency can get us toward that
How does NIST see the RMF fit into the current generative AI discussion? @NIST's Elham Tabassi says it was designed to apply to generative AI -- talks about structured tiers of risk -- not entirely clear here if basis of structured risk is on context used or complexity of tech
.@ashleyrgold: how should congress take NIST AI RMF and AI BoR type docs?
A: seeing these docs as "protolegislation"...good bills have to be specifics but challenge here is that the goalposts are moving....Wants to impose a duty of care to address unknown future challenges
Following AI Governance Panel at #SOTN2023 🧵
sr advisor to congress (missed name) responding to this piece -- you don't want congress to move as fast as industry (agreed!)...saying theyre pivoting from support of R&D to consumer protection (log)

new: AI voice-cloning tech is making phone scams frighteningly believable.

I talked to some who got duped. They were elderly + heard their loved one needed cash now. They felt it might be a scam, but the voice sounded too real to ignore.

One lost $21k.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2023/03/05/ai-voice-scam/

They thought loved ones were calling for help. It was an AI scam.

Scammers are using artificial intelligence to sound more like family members in distress. Loved ones are falling for it and losing thousands of dollars.
