The demand for AI regulation intensifies as Deepfakes and chatbots gain prominence – RTE.ie.

The rise of Artificial Intelligence (AI) has brought about a world of possibilities, from chatbots that can interact seamlessly with humans to Deepfakes, technology that can convincingly manipulate video and audio to create fake footage. While these innovations can be seen as exciting developments in technological advancement, calls for AI regulation have been growing louder in recent years. This is due to the ever-increasing potential for the malicious use of AI to deceive people, spread false information and cause harm. In this article, we will examine the growing concerns regarding Deepfakes and chatbots and explore the need for regulation to mitigate their negative impact on society.


Calls for regulation of AI are intensifying with growing concern about the development of chatbots and deepfakes. Tech leaders, including Elon Musk, are calling for a pause in AI development, to protect humanity. Hedge fund manager Bill Ackman has warned that a pause could help “bad guys”. The Guardian has argued that the problem with AI is that it is neither artificial nor intelligent. The risks of rushing development are also clear.


As technology continues to advance, the need for regulating artificial intelligence becomes more pressing. The emergence of deepfakes and chatbots highlights the potential dangers of uncontrolled AI development, making it imperative that we take action before it’s too late. As the calls for AI regulation grow louder, let’s hope that governments and tech companies will take heed and work together to establish responsible guidelines that ensure AI is developed and used for the betterment of society.
