The Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS), Canada\u2019s primary national intelligence agency, raised concerns about the disinformation campaigns conducted across the internet using artificial intelligence (AI) deepfakes.<\/p>\n
Canada sees the growing \u201crealism of deepfakes\u201d coupled with the \u201cinability to recognize or detect them\u201d as a potential threat to Canadians. In its report, CSIS cited instances where deepfakes were used to harm individuals.<\/p>\n
\u201cDeepfakes and other advanced AI technologies threaten democracy as certain actors seek to capitalize on uncertainty or perpetuate \u2018facts\u2019 based on synthetic and\/or falsified information. This will be exacerbated further if governments are unable to \u2018prove\u2019 that their official content is real and factual.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
It also referred to Cointelegraph\u2019s coverage of the Elon Musk deepfakes targeting crypto investors.<\/p>\n
Since 2022, bad actors have used sophisticated deepfake videos to convince unwary crypto investors to willingly part with their funds. Musk\u2019s warning against deepfakes came after a fabricated video of him surfaced on X (formerly Twitter) promoting a cryptocurrency platform with unrealistic returns.<\/p>\n
The Canadian agency noted privacy violations, social manipulation and bias as some of the other concerns that AI brings to the table. The department urges governmental policies, directives and initiatives to evolve with the realism of deepfakes and synthetic media:<\/p>\n
\u201cIf governments assess and address AI independently and at their typical speed, their interventions will quickly be rendered irrelevant.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
CSIS recommended a collaboration among partner governments, allies and industry experts to address the global distribution of legitimate information.<\/p>\n

Canada\u2019s intent to involve the allied nations in addressing AI concerns was cemented on Oct. 30, when the Group of Seven (G7) industrial countries agreed upon an AI code of conduct for developers.<\/p>\n
As previously reported by Cointelegraph, the\u00a0code has 11 points that aim to promote \u201csafe, secure, and trustworthy AI worldwide\u201d and help \u201cseize\u201d the benefits of AI while still addressing and troubleshooting the risks it poses.<\/p>\n
