South Africa's plan to regulate AI and misinformation

In its annual performance plan for 2024/25, South Africa's Film and Publication Board (FPB) revealed that it is conducting "deep research" into generative AI to prevent the technology from spreading misinformation.

Citing the World Economic Forum, the FPB says misinformation and disinformation are among the most severe global risks anticipated to emerge over the next two years.

It's always great when the FPB gets involved.

Err...deep research & the FPB should not be used in the same sentence

FIX THE POTHOLES FIRST.

You are out of your depth here.

WTF is the FPB involved for they couldn't research what their own jobs are and we expected to believe they can spell AI

Not good for @BusinessTech and the other bots around here...

Misinformation will exist with AI or not, I am still waiting for that 2018 National SAPS strike that was being spread around.

I guess we won’t be seeing any of these anymore.

If it had to happen I reckon this guy on Twitter/X/xHamster will be the first to be silenced. If you know, you know.

Can’t wait. The FPB AI rating. You pay them a billion to self rate your content per article/work on an AI rating of 0-10 representing 0 being human to 10 being totally AI. Then a letter representing Disinformation, Misinformation,Factual and Unsure/do your own research.

Deep research... is that the same as digging your own grave?

They tried this before to silence voices of the people of the country. None of these laws become actual laws. These people are way to stupid to get them signed off.

Our best and brightest are on the job, I am sure it will be a resounding success.
