![OVERSIGHT BOARD URGES META TO RETHINK ITS POLICY ON MANIPULATED MEDIA IN HIGH-STAKES ELECTION YEAR](https://cdn.magzter.com/1406567956/1707351170/articles/6eDkpCNj61707480402771/OVERSIGHT-BOARD-URGES-META-TO-RETHINK-ITS-POLICY-ON-MANIPULATED-MEDIA-IN-HIGHSTAKES-ELECTION-YEAR.jpg)
The quasi-independent board this week said its review of an altered video of President Joe Biden that spread on Facebook exposed gaps in the policy. The board said Meta should expand the policy to focus not only on videos generated with artificial intelligence, but on media regardless of how it was created. That includes fake audio recordings, which already have convincingly impersonated political candidates in the U.S. and elsewhere.
The company also should clarify the harms it is trying to prevent and should label images, videos and audio clips as manipulated instead of removing the posts altogether, the Meta Oversight Board said.
The board’s feedback reflects the intense scrutiny that is facing many tech companies for their handling of election falsehoods in a year when voters in more than 50 countries will go to the polls. As both generative artificial intelligence deepfakes and lower-quality “cheap fakes” on social media threaten to mislead voters, the platforms are trying to catch up and respond to false posts while protecting users’ rights to free speech.
“As it stands, the policy makes little sense,” Oversight Board co-chair Michael McConnell said of Meta’s policy in a statement. He said the company should close gaps in the policy while ensuring political speech is “unwaveringly protected.”
Meta said it is reviewing the Oversight Board’s guidance and will respond publicly to the recommendations within 60 days.
