In a speech in Washington aimed at addressing how best to regulate AI, Smith called for steps to ensure people know when a photo or video is real or created by AI — something that could potentially be used for nefarious purposes.

“We’re going to have to address the issues around deepfakes,” he said. “We need to take steps to protect against the use of AI to manipulate content with the intent to deceive or mislead people.”
Smith also called for licensing the most important forms of AI with “obligations to protect security, physical security, cyber security, national security.”
For weeks, lawmakers around the world have been grappling with passing laws to regulate AI as companies large and small have raced to bring it to market.
Last week, Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI, the startup behind ChatGPT, told a US Senate hearing that the use of AI to interfere in elections is an “area of concern,” adding that it needs regulation.
Altman also called for global cooperation on AI and encouraged safety compliance. Recently, Google CEO Sundar Pichai also called for the world to build responsible AI in this still young and potentially risky technology race.
