Assessing the Pros and Cons of President Biden's AI Executive Order

Reality Defender, a leading deepfake detection company, has raised concerns about President Biden's recent executive order on AI, stating that it has "dangerous limitations." While applauding the administration for addressing AI's potential dangers, Reality Defender CEO Ben Colman expressed concerns about the reliance on provenance watermarking as an effective way to label AI-generated content. He argued that watermarking is not foolproof and can be easily evaded or faked. Colman emphasized the need for reliable methods of deepfake detection and urged elected officials to implement tools that provide users with information about the authenticity of content before it goes viral.
