Microsoft and OpenAI have partnered to create a $2 million fund aimed at addressing the risks of AI and deepfakes being used to deceive voters and undermine democracy. The rise of generative AI has led to a new threat landscape involving AI-generated deepfakes designed to spread disinformation, particularly around elections. Major tech companies, including Microsoft and OpenAI, have signed pledges to counter these risks and build a common framework to address deepfakes. OpenAI has launched a deepfake detector and joined the steering committee for the Coalition for Content Provenance and Authenticity. The new societal resilience fund will support AI education and literacy among voters and vulnerable communities by issuing grants to various organizations.
