The global focus on artificial intelligence (AI) and its implications is intensifying, with China and the United States at the forefront of efforts to regulate generative AI technologies. China's government is escalating its efforts to police generative AI, announcing plans to enforce rules to label and restrict information created by these powerful technologies. This move mirrors a similar debate in the U.S., where concerns about the spread of election or voting-related misinformation and deceptive content through AI have prompted calls for regulation. The Chinese Cyberspace Administration's new push includes marking AI-generated content, policing internet news and information produced without approval, and cracking down on false information. In the U.S., the popular AI image-generator Midjourney has started blocking users from creating fake images of iden and Trump ahead of the presidential election, reflecting growing concerns about election misinformation ahead of the Sora launch. OpenAI's tech chief has also acknowledged the issue of election misinformation as a concern. Meanwhile, experts warn that as AI tools become smarter, they are also becoming covertly racist, with discrimination found in language models like OpenAI's ChatGPT and Google's Gemini.
