I would like to add to what has just been said.
In my opinion, the problem is not exclusive to artificial intelligence; it existed well before that. The disinformation that is proliferating on social media such as X, Instagram and YouTube comes from bot farms or similar places. How do companies such as Google, Meta and Alphabet put in place control mechanisms? There lies the problem and the potential solution. We have the responsibility to see how to regulate everything. However, artificial intelligence systems subsequently become victims, in a way, even if these companies have large resources to counter disinformation and detect artificial, robot-generated content.
The issue is not going away, but in my opinion, the question goes beyond simple artificial intelligence regulation. It encompasses the digital environment as a whole. I would reframe Mr. Thériault’s question through this lens.
