Which is when we'd enter economic warfare between the EU and US, something which no one wants to experience. If that were realistically threatened, and we've seen motions in that direction, it's about political and economical survival and we'd see a massive loss of market for US tech.
It's obviously a loosing battle. You're thinking of elaborate attackers, I'm thinking of your common policeman or scammer. Not great security, but might be able to solve the easyness problem introduced by GenAI.
Out of curiosity, what would be your proposal for identifying GenAI images and videos? Any suggestions?
Really good points, thank you for pointing this out. What I'm mostly thinking of is the usage in e.g., social media. There will be efforts to do what you suggest, but for your typical facebook user and scammers, this might help with the more common situations where people use GenAI.
Why is the Content Credentials Standard [1] not more supported? It's basically hardware-signing of images, which would make it fairly straightforward to identify AI-generated content.
It's also two different things, you might be right that China, Russia or the EU would be worse as a hegemon, but that doesn't imply that it wouldn't happen.
Being a realist would imply that you would understand that a fundamentally worse hegemon could still replace an existing hegemon.
Do you really think the American empire is never to be challenged? Everything and everyone goes down after a while. Whether it‘s now is unclear, though the active resentment against the US is unprecedented.
Sadly, your comment lacks any substance to argue with, all there is are unsubstantiated ad hominems. Sad.
Interestingly, China is succeeding because it isolated itself partially from US big tech. That enabled them to build their domestic companies.
If you give free reign to US companies, they‘re going to swoop up any competition early on.
The US relies on being attractive for smart people. There are still smart people going to the US, but the general mood seems to be that it‘s increasingly less attractive. Mid term, little will change, long term the cultural hegemony of the US will be replaced by multipolar influences.
There's a fairly non-invasive way to do age verification: ID cards that connect to a smartphone app that only provide a boolean age verification to the requesting service. Requesting service can be anonymous to the ID app and the requesting service can only receive a bool.
That most implementation will try to collect far more data is the real concern.
The commission is checked by the parliament is checked by the council is checked by the commission. Most other national organizations only have one check - Germany, for example, only has the Bundesrat as a check of the Bundestag.
