AI Ads

Summary: The Federal Election Commission (FEC) has initiated a process that may lead to the regulation of AI-generated deepfakes in political ads before the 2024 election, aiming to protect voters against this form of election disinformation. (source)

Key Points:

  • A petition to regulate ads using AI for mis-representation.

  • Existing campaigns, including Florida GOP Gov. Ron DeSantis's, are already using this technology.

  • The FEC will decide on rules only after a 60-day public comment window, likely starting next week.

  • Regulation could impose guidelines for disclaimers, but not cover all deepfake-related threats, such as those from individual social media users.

Why It Matters: With elections around the corner, the potential use of AI in misleading political ads is a hot topic. The decision to possibly regulate AI shows an understanding of its possible risks, but the real test will be in getting rules on the books. It's not just about politics; it's about truth in a world where seeing is no longer believing.

DISNEY

Summary: Disney has created a special team to explore how AI can be used across its various sectors including entertainment, theme parks, and advertising (source)

Key points:

  • The initiative aims to develop AI in-house and form startup partnerships, reflecting the company's interest in technological innovation.

  • By employing AI, Disney may reduce the costs of movie and television production.

  • AI could provide novel interactions and enhanced customer support in Disney’s theme parks.

Why It Matters: Disney's investment in AI reflects a broader industry trend towards embracing new technology to drive innovation and efficiency. While this move holds the potential for significant benefits, it also underscores tension and fears in the industry about automation's impact on traditional roles.

💡 AI TUTORIAL

Applying the 80/20 Rule in Decision-Making with ChatGPT

The Pareto Principle, or the 80/20 rule, is the idea that 80% of results come from 20% of efforts. This concept is integral to many aspects of life, including productivity, business, and personal growth. By embracing this principle with tools like ChatGPT, you can make more efficient decisions and concentrate on what's most important.

Try the prompt below:

Employing the 80/20 rule, please help me analyze my e-commerce business. I want to know which 20% of my products are generating 80% of my sales and which 20% of my marketing efforts are leading to 80% of my traffic. Additionally, provide insights on how I can optimize my operations based on this principle.
