A United Nations report from the International Telecommunication Union (ITU), released at the “AI for Good Summit” in Geneva, urged global action to detect and counter AI-generated deepfakes—such as fake videos, images, and audio—that threaten elections and financial systems.
The report recommends that social media platforms implement mandatory digital verification tools, set clear standards for verifying multimedia content, and use video watermarking techniques that include information about the creator and timestamps.
Experts from Adobe and Digital Medusa emphasized the need for international collaboration and user education to restore trust in online content.
