Today, Ofcom issued a statement to broadcasters in relation to 'synthetic media' (including deepfakes) in broadcast programming.
"Synthetic media" is an umbrella term for video, image, text, or voice that has been generated in whole or in part by artificial intelligence algorithms.
Ofcom understands that synthetic media has become increasingly prevalent online and has also been used in virtual reality, augmented reality, gaming, and other forms of digital media. It is also used in marketing, advertising, and the entertainment industry, including in filmmaking and broadcasting.
However, as this type of technology continues to grow and evolve at a rapid rate, Ofcom is cognisant that synthetic media is likely to become more prevalent in broadcast content. While there are some benefits of the technology (to content creators, broadcasters and audiences), there are also risks and challenges.
Ofcom gives as an example, the risk that 'DeepFake' software can replace a person in an existing image or video with someone else's likeness with realistic results. Other challenges outlined by Ofcom include:

The 2023 AI Index Report was published this week by the Stanford Institute for Human-Centered Artificial Intelligence (HAI). The report series, dating back to 2017, tracks, collates, distills and visualizes data related to AI in order to provide unbiased, vetted and globally sourced data for policymakers, researchers, executives, journalists and the general public.
Designed to enable decision-makers to take meaningful action to advance AI responsibly and ethically with humans in mind, the report examines R&D, technical performance, ethics and many other aspects of AI technology.
