人工智能（AI）的发展正促使世界各国政府以及来自多个领域的专家为社会做好未来准备。在英国，大臣们发布了一份关于前沿人工智能的能力、机遇与风险的讨论文件。该文件指出，尽管人工智能有许多益处，它也可能成为一种简单、易得且廉价的工具用于传播虚假信息，并可能被恐怖分子滥用以增强其能力。该文件警告说，人工智能技术将变得高度先进而逼真，使人几乎无法把深度伪造及其他虚假内容与真实内容区分开来。人工智能还可能被用于煽动暴力，并削弱人们对真实信息的信任。
Developments in Artificial Intelligence (AI) are prompting governments across the globe, and experts from across multiple sectors, to future proof society. In the UK, Ministers have published a discussion paper on the capabilities, opportunities and risks presented by frontier artificial intelligence. The document outlines that whilst AI has many benefits, it can act as a simple, accessible and cheap tool for the dissemination of disinformation, and could be misused by terrorists to enhance their capabilities. The document warns that AI technology will become so advanced and realistic, that it will be nearly impossible to distinguish deep fakes and other fake content from real content. AI could also be used to incite violence and reduce people’s trust in true information.
