US President Donald Trump wrote in a social media post on Saturday that he is creating an “AI Force” to oversee regulation of AI and will appoint an AI “tsar” in the near future. “We will not in any way hinder or stifle the Growth of this incredible Industry,” Trump said. “Rather, we will cherish it, help it, and watch over it, as it grows! However, we will also be looking for BAD, and we can do that, very easily, with our already existing Criminal and Civil Justice System.” The White House...
When tech CEOs warn AI could end humanity, does the media get the story right?
The threat of catastrophic danger as artificial intelligence develops at high speed has sparked a global debate on how it should be regulated. And Africa is no exception. As governments and businesses look to harness the technology, concerns are growing over jobs, misinformation and the need for safeguards.

Speaking with FRANCE 24's Mark Owen, Lisa Dittmer, Researcher, Children and Young People’s Digital Rights at Amnesty International, says that "the harms have come to outweigh the benefits of social media and it is time for the EU to regulate at the design level, not simply accepting that responsibility be pushed on to parents".

O Brasil deve ampliar a regulação de plataformas digitais e a fiscalização do compartilhamento de conteúdos feitos com Inteligência Artificial. Foi o que defenderam as pesquisadoras Fernanda Rodrigues, diretora executiva do Instituto de Referência em Internet e Sociedade (IRIS) e Larissa Santiago, cofundadora da plataforma de comunicação independente Blogueiras Negras. Durante o webinário Tecnologias, IA e Eleições, promovido pela Articulação de Organizações de Mulheres Negras Brasileiras nesta terça-feira (15), Fernanda Rodrigues chamou atenção para o funcionamento dos algoritmos de recomendação, que, segundo ela, fazem com que as plataformas determinem quais conteúdos serão apresentados aos usuários. “É preciso uma regulação mínima que assegure que as pessoas possam optar por não receber conteúdos padronizados e que assegure que os mecanismos de recomendação não tenham vieses discriminatórios”, disse. Inteligência Artificial Sobre a Inteligência Artificial, as pesquisadoras afirmaram que o desenvolvimento dessa tecnologia não tem sido pautado pelas demandas da sociedade e que as grandes empresas de tecnologia monopolizam o debate sobre o assunto. Larissa Santiago afirmou que, em comparação com outros países, o Brasil tem um bom sistema regulatório de IA. Mas que é preciso aumentar a fiscalização e, principalmente, a educação midiática. “As pessoas não conseguem entender a diferença entre uma pessoa real e uma pessoa criada pela IA. É preciso educar a população”, disse. IA nas eleições Ao citar o processo que levou ao impeachment da então presidenta Dilma Rousseff, Larissa Santiago mencionou a circulação de imagens e notícias distorcidas. O processo de impeachment ocorreu em 2016, antes da popularização das ferramentas atuais de inteligência artificial generativa. Larissa afirmou que a tecnologia de IA potencializa a violência política de gênero e raça com o uso de desinformação e deepfakes. “A gente viu isso com a presidenta Dilma. As imagens distorcidas, as notícias distorcidas, até chegar ao golpe”, disse.
