  • Policymakers should hold people accountable for producing unauthorized deepfakes of creator performances and hold platforms accountable if they knowingly disseminate such unauthorized content.
  • Solving the problems posed by deepfakes will require thoughtful, whole-of-society approaches leveraging both changes in law and technology.
  • IBM encourages policymakers to seize this opportunity to swiftly target three of the most significant harmful applications of deepfakes to ensure that AI remains a positive force for the global economy and society.
