Due to recent events it is clear a law must be established to combat the use of Artificial Intelligence in the generation of audio, photograph, or video which may mislead and cause divide among the populace. Already people are questioning if videos of these recent events are just products of Artificial Intelligence. It should not be left to the people or fact checkers to establish whether a video is genuine or Artificial Intelligence. There must be consequences in place to prevent the publication of misleading Artificial Intelligence in media. 

    Media outlets and Social Media Platforms must be held to a standard to outright identify the use of Artificial Intelligence while publishing any form of audio, photograph, of video. All forms of media in which Artificial Intelligence was used to either enhanced or generated cannot be published without a disclaimer. Failure to do so should result in a fine or penalty established by the creation of this law. 

    It is clear Artificial Intelligence is here to stay and in many ways can benefit society as a whole. However, it can also be used to cause divide. Instead of waiting for the day it causes so much divide in which it results in violence or death the law must be established now.

    I believe the information above conveys my concern. However, I have never written a petition or have a true understanding of sentence structure so I will leave you with the following to convey my concern in a more educated way.

To: Legislative Body or Governing Authority

WHEREAS, the rapid advancement of Artificial Intelligence has enabled the creation of highly deceptive audio, photographic, and video content that threatens to mislead the public and incite social division; and

WHEREAS, public trust is currently being eroded as citizens are forced to question the authenticity of real-world events, placing an undue and dangerous burden on individuals and independent fact-checkers to verify digital media; and

WHEREAS, while Artificial Intelligence offers significant societal benefits, its unregulated use in media serves as a catalyst for misinformation that could inevitably lead to civil unrest, violence, or loss of life if left unaddressed;

THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the undersigned call upon Legislative Body or Governing Authority to enact comprehensive legislation that:

Mandates Transparency: Requires all media outlets and social media platforms to clearly and prominently identify any content—whether audio, visual, or photographic—that has been generated or enhanced by Artificial Intelligence.

Enforces Disclosure: Prohibits the publication of AI-influenced media without a standardized disclaimer, ensuring the public is immediately aware of its synthetic nature.

Establishes Accountability: Imposes strict legal consequences, including significant fines and penalties, for entities that fail to comply with these disclosure standards.

In conclusion, we urge our leaders to act preemptively to safeguard truth and public safety before the misuse of this technology results in irreparable harm to our society.
