Victoria Council Fights Deepfakes with AI Regulation Push

0:00Victoria City Council unanimously voted to battle deepfakes by pushing senior governments for strict AI regulations to stop misinformation from, spreading wild. They're firing off resolutions to the Union of British Columbia Municipalities this fall, and the Federation of Canadian Municipalities in June, plus, letters straight to Federal AI Minister Evan Solomon and Provincial Tech Minister Rick Gloomack. Joe Jeremy Caradana sparked the move, stressing how AI fakes blur real from phony, with trusted voices twisted into saying stuff they'd never. Touch, fueling social riffs and threatening democracy. He demoted live with an AI clone of himself dropping lines he wouldn't dream of, calling it creepy and a real crisis for elected refs lacking. Protection, AI ain't going anywhere, so this resolution demands guardrails to harness the good while blocking the damage, potentially lighting a fire for. And wide rules to safeguard our shared truth. From your city, powered by AI, this is Canada News Today.
