On the eve of the upcoming elections, the European Commission is sending a request for information under the DSA to Google, Meta, X and Co. about how they prevent AI-generated disinformation on their platforms.
The European Commission is officially asking major tech giants for information on how they will address the risks of generative AI. All stated by the DSA VLOPs (Very Large Online Platforms) And VLOSES (Very Large Online Search Engines) have to take responsibility for themselves. Meta (Facebook and Instagram), Google (Google Search and YouTube), Microsoft (Bing), Snapchat and TikTok, among others, have been given homework.
Major platforms have until April 5 to submit responses about what actions they will take to combat the creation and spread of disinformation using generative AI on their platforms. This ranges from hallucinations in which AI provides false information to the conscious manipulation of images using AI image generators. The Commission also requests information on the risk assessments and mitigation measures related to the impact of generative AI on electoral processes, protection of minors, psychological well-being, intellectual property, etc.
The European Commission considers generative AI to be a potential threat to the integrity of elections. In a year when people are going to the polls in many countries, Europe is also having elections in June this year, so there is additional cause for concern. Tech platforms have historically had great difficulty curbing disinformation, and with generative AI, spreading false information and/or manipulated content is even easier.
With the introduction of the DSA, the European Commission requires major technology platforms to do everything in their power to protect users from harmful content. Anyone who fails to comply with this obligation can face significant fines. The DSA has applied to all online platforms since February 19th. Together with the DMA, which has been in force since March 7, the law aims to ensure fairer and safer online gaming conditions for all internet users.
