Oversight Board blasts ‘inadequate’ Meta safeguards for AI deepfakes

Meta on Thursday moved to remove AI-generated videos targeting two women, including a British politician, after the tech giant’s Oversight Board blasted its “fundamentally inadequate” safeguards against proliferating deepfakes.

The Oversight Board, the quasi-independent body the company funds to review its moderation decisions, earlier Thursday demanded that Meta remove the fabricated videos from its platforms, saying the cases undermined its own policies on hate speech, misinformation and harassment.
