New Laws for AI in Politics

政治 AI 新法


Introduction

Governments in Australia and Japan want to stop AI from changing elections.

澳洲與日本政府希望阻止 AI 改變選舉。

Main Body

In Australia, a man used AI to make a fake picture of a politician. People are angry. They want a label on all AI pictures so people know they are fake. Now, the law only stops fake pictures right before an election. This is not enough time.

在澳洲,一名男子使用 AI 製作了一張政治人物的假照片。人們感到很憤怒。他們希望所有 AI 圖片都加上標記,以便讓大眾知道那是偽造的。目前,法律僅禁止在選舉前的短時間內發布假照片,這時間並不充足。

Japan is making a new law for social media. The law says companies must stop fake news. People must say if they use AI for pictures. This law will start in March 2027.

日本正在制定一項關於社群媒體的新法。該法規定公司必須阻止假新聞。如果圖片使用了 AI,必須予以說明。這項法律將於 2027 年 3 月開始執行。

AI is cheap. Small political groups can use it to save money. But AI can also make bad and violent pictures. This makes some people afraid to work in politics.

AI 的成本很低。小型政治團體可以利用它來節省開支。但 AI 也能製造惡劣且暴力的圖片。這使得部分人不敢從事政治工作。

Conclusion

Australia and Japan want more rules. They want people to be honest about AI.

澳洲與日本希望有更多規範。他們希望人們在 AI 使用上保持誠實。
