However, the Verify protocol may not yet be able to address the accuracy of content. This comes as Fox News faces a lawsuit from tech firm Smartmatic over alleged false narratives about the 2020 presidential election results. Despite this, Verify could prove useful in cases such as The New York Times' lawsuit against OpenAI and Microsoft for unauthorized use of its content for training AI chatbots.
Key takeaways:
- Fox Corporation has launched a blockchain-based platform called Verify, in collaboration with software development firm Polygon Labs, to address the dangers linked to the rise in AI-generated content.
- Verify aims to improve originality and authenticity of content, helping consumers and media publishers differentiate truth from lies in the era of AI tools and AI-generated media.
- Despite its potential benefits, the Verify protocol may not yet be able to address issues related to the accuracy of the content.
- Verify could set a precedent for how firms use AI tools, especially in cases of unauthorized use of content for training AI chatbots, as in the lawsuit filed by The New York Times against OpenAI and Microsoft.
