There is no reason to regulate the design of automobiles as it would hamper the development of the industry, which supplies thousands of jobs in Canada. There is a reason cars look wildly different from 1980 to 2024, and they will likely to continue to develop to become even safer and more reliable as that is what the market demands. Overregulation hampers Innovation

Pentagon Plans Legion of AI Ghosts to Haunt Social Media

The Pentagon Wants to Use AI to Create Deepfake Internet UsersThe Department of Defense wants technology so it can fabricate online personas that are indistinguishable from real people.Sam BiddleOctober 17 2024, 9:49 a.m.ShareThe Pentagon seen from Air Force One as it flies over Washington, D.C., on March 2, 2022. (AP Photo/Patrick Semansky, File)The United States’ secretive Special Operations Command is looking for companies to help create deepfake internet users so convincing that neither humans nor computers will be able to detect they are fake, according to a procurement document reviewed by The Intercept.The plan, mentioned in a new 76-page wish list by the Department of Defense’s Joint Special Operations Command, or JSOC, outlines advanced technologies desired for country’s most elite, clandestine military efforts. “Special Operations Forces (SOF) are interested in technologies that can generate convincing online personas for use on social media platforms, social networking sites, and other online content,” the entry reads.The document specifies that JSOC wants the ability to create online user profiles that “appear to be a unique individual that is recognizable as human but does not exist in the real world,” with each featuring “multiple expressions” and “Government Identification quality photos.”In addition to still images of faked people, the document notes that “the solution should include facial & background imagery, facial & background video, and audio layers,” and JSOC hopes to be able to generate “selfie video” from these fabricated humans. These videos will feature more than fake people: Each deepfake selfie will come with a matching faked background, “to create a virtual environment undetectable by social media algorithms.”
