The Digital Regulation Cooperation Forum (DRCF) has published a paper examining the future development potential of synthetic media, a part of its horizon scanning initiative. The research identifies both the opportunities and risks associated with synthetic media, including content personalisation, the use of digital twins, the potential for creating harmful content and disinformation, and the implications of employing synthetic data for training AI systems. The paper considers the regulatory concerns while also offering detection strategies like watermarking and content labelling.
On the subject of synthetic training data, the report highlights its emerging role in improving the representativeness and accuracy of AI outputs. However, it also raises significant concerns about the potential misuse of synthetic data and the need for strict measures to filter out harmful or biased content.
