"Meta's New Labeling Approach for AI-Generated Content and Deepfakes"

Meta is updating its approach to handling manipulated media on its platforms, including Facebook, Instagram, and Threads, based on feedback from the Oversight Board. The changes involve implementing labels to provide context about AI-generated content, including videos, audio, and photos, and addressing manipulation that shows a person doing something they didn't do. The company plans to start labeling AI-generated content in May 2024 and will stop removing content solely based on its manipulated video policy in July. These decisions are informed by extensive public opinion surveys, consultations with global experts, and feedback from civil society organizations and academics.

Unanswered Questions Surrounding Chef Michael Chiarello's Fatal Allergic Reaction

The recent death of Chef Michael Chiarello from a severe allergic reaction highlights the hidden dangers of allergies. Allergies can be triggered by various substances, and even mild reactions can turn fatal if not treated properly. Adults can develop new allergies, including to foods they have previously been exposed to. Anaphylaxis, a life-threatening allergic reaction, can occur unpredictably and requires immediate treatment with an EpiPen. It is important to be aware of allergens in unexpected places and to read food labels carefully, as some allergens may not be clearly listed.

Tyson Foods to Remove 'No Antibiotics Ever' Label from Select Chicken Products

Tyson Foods, one of the largest meat producers in the US, will no longer use the "No Antibiotics Ever" label on some of its chicken products due to changing consumer preferences and the need for flexibility in its supply chain. The company will continue to offer chicken raised without antibiotics, but will use a different label to reflect that the birds may have been treated with antibiotics in their early life. This decision comes as Tyson and other food companies face pressure to balance consumer demand for antibiotic-free meat with the need to maintain animal health and welfare.

EU calls for labeling of AI-generated content by Google and Facebook.

The European Commission is urging tech companies like Google, Facebook, and TikTok to start labeling content created by artificial intelligence to combat disinformation online. The Commission wants companies to make it easier for people to distinguish facts from fiction by recognizing and clearly labeling AI-generated disinformation. The Digital Services Act requires very large online platforms and search engines to identify deep fakes with "prominent markings" as soon as August 25 or face multimillion-euro fines. The European Parliament is pushing for a similar rule to apply to all companies generating AI content, including text, as part of the Artificial Intelligence Act.

EU Commissioner urges labeling of AI-generated content to combat disinformation.

European Commission deputy head Vera Jourova has called on companies using generative AI tools to label content that has the potential to generate disinformation. Jourova said that companies such as Google, Microsoft, and Meta Platforms that have signed up to the EU Code of Practice to tackle disinformation should report on safeguards put in place to tackle this in July. She also warned Twitter, which quit the Code last week, to expect more regulatory scrutiny.

Google to Label AI-Generated Images for Identification.

Google will embed a markup inside images created by its AI models to warn people that the images were originally created by a computer. The data inside the images won't be visible to the human eye, but software such as Google Search will be able to read it and then display a label warning users. Google will also provide additional information about all images in its results to help prevent deception, including when the image was first uploaded to the search engine and whether it's been cited by news sites.

Elon Musk threatens to reassign NPR's Twitter account.

Elon Musk threatened to reassign NPR's Twitter account to another company after the media outlet left the platform last month. NPR left Twitter after the platform gave a "state-affiliated media" label to the outlet and others, which was later removed and replaced with one stating that the outlets like NPR were "government funded." Musk later clarified that his policy is to recycle handles that are definitively dormant, and that no special treatment is given to NPR. NPR CEO John Lansing has said he lost faith with Twitter's decision-making and needs time to determine if the platform can be trusted.

Twitter urged to remove "government-funded media" label by public media body.

The Global Task Force for Public Media has called on Twitter to correct the designation of four of its members on the site, including the ABC in Australia, CBC/Radio Canada, Korean Broadcasting System, and Radio New Zealand, which are currently labeled as "Government-funded Media." The Global Task Force said that labeling them as such "misleads audiences about their operational and editorial independence from government." The networks have requested the "Publicly-funded Media" label instead. Twitter has been criticized for its inconsistent and incoherent patchwork of labels for public service media bodies on its site.

CBC halts Twitter use over 'government-funded media' label.

Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC) has criticized Twitter's labeling of it as "69% government-funded media," saying it has complete editorial independence. CBC received C$1.24 billion ($925.86 million) in government funding in the 2022 financial year, compared with revenue from advertising, subscriptions, and other sources of C$651.4 million according to its annual report. Twitter defines its "government-funded media" label as "where the government provides some or all of the outlet's funding and may have varying degrees of government involvement over editorial content." CBC has paused its Twitter activities over the labeling, a spat that has also drawn in Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and his Conservative rival Pierre Poilievre.

Canada's public broadcaster, CBC, has announced that it will pause its activity on Twitter after the social media platform labeled its account as "government-funded media."

Twitter defines such outlets as those that rely mostly on government funding to carry out operations "and may have varying degrees of government involvement over editorial content."

Twitter accounts for WVXU and other CPR stations were not labeled as government-funded media. However, CPR would suspend activity on the platform for the foreseeable future.

Study reveals discrepancies in THC potency labeling of retail cannabis products.

A study conducted by researchers at the University of Northern Colorado and Mile High Labs in Colorado found that THC potency labeling on cannabis products did not match the verification tests. The study tested 23 samples representing 12 strains purchased from 10 Colorado dispensaries and found that the average observed THC potency was 23.1% lower than the lowest label reported values and 35.6% lower than the highest label reported values. The researchers suggest that urgent steps are taken to increase the accuracy of cannabis labeling to avoid impacts on medical patients controlling dosage and to ensure that recreational consumers get what they pay for.
