Important point about doctored images and online misinformation towards the end, which neither party will pay any actual heed to when they can just score lazy points about who has done wrongest.
The danger of deepfakes etc is not getting the attention it deserves, and even more concerning is that there aren’t any good solutions to these problems. Where do we end up when it becomes impossible to have any trust in audiovisual content?
Meanwhile or politicians are already trying to weaponise it to score cheap points rather than discuss the matter at all.
Nothing will happen this parliament because the current lot are technologically illiterate. I don’t hold out much hope of the next government sorting it either. I think it’s going to take a Major Scandal and probably some kind of inquiry before any legislation gets suggested.
