Use of AI generated content in TV programming

Please call out or advise on AI generated content on Australian TV channels.

With the AI generated content looking pretty convincing at times. It is important to be able to know what content created/televised, is real as opposed to generated content. Which may be designed to deceive into believing its actual footage.

Should networks be compelled to notify viewers when AI generated content is being displayed?

As AI improves (not just in terms of quality, but the kind of thing that it can easily/quickly produce), it’s not hard to see it becoming a greater part of programming.

I’m surprised we dont see more AI generated content in our news services (whether it be by design or by accident) especially as there is a greater emphasis from some to be the first with the news

There is a terrible AI generated ad in NZ currently and it has a caption at the bottom pointing this out. I think it should be mandatory.

Great thread idea! I’m tipping this will get quite popular later in the year once Google’s VEO 3 is released to the public. Absolutely phenomenal stuff :exploding_head:

Maybe not genAI pictures, but AI translations are making their way in, like BBC’s upcoming Polish service:

BBC News Polska will be the first new language offer from the BBC World Service produced with the help of AI translation technology.

BBC News Polska will work innovatively to harness existing translation and transcription tools to bring the best of the BBC’s journalism to new audiences. The translation of BBC reporting will always have human editorial oversight and, where used, will be clearly labelled.

[…]

The launch of BBC News Polska sees the BBC World Service working in a new way with a small, efficient team delivering both the AI-assisted translation of curated BBC reporting and original journalism.

Not necessarily TV programming, but in terms of advertising, Tasmania’s Shooters Fishers and Farmers party seemingly used AI to voice their election TV ad for the 2024 Tasmanian State Election.

its getting really difficult to tell whats fact and whats fiction so…
