Social media platforms must label AI-generated content, says Fahmi


KUALA LUMPUR: Social media platforms must put an artificial intelligence (AI) label or notification on every piece of AI-generated content posted on their platforms to avoid unwanted incidents, says Fahmi Fadzil.

The Communications Minister said all social media platform operators should be held responsible for any incidents occurring on their platforms.

"If their content is produced using Generative AI technology, then it is only right for the platforms to use a label or notification with words like ‘Generated by Artificial Intelligence’ so that users know it is AI-generated content.

"This is one of the reasons why we will eventually license all social media platforms, because we want them to be responsible when incidents like this occur."

Fahmi made these remarks in response to the incident involving famous social media influencer Khairul Aming, who became a victim of a deep fake video. – Bernama
