If you make a bunch of deepfakes at your house with Donald Trump and you never share them with anyone, what harm have you caused? You start telling lies about both presidential candidates and you share them widely on social platforms that go viral. Now you have caused a giant external problem. And so it feels like the pressure to regulate this stuff is going to come back. to the platforms.

And again, I think the desire of the platforms to moderate waxes and wanes, and it feels low right now, maybe it'll ramp back up. Where are the platforms right now with the deep fake distribution problem?

The one platform that stands out to me, and you and I have talked about this a lot, is YouTube, which has an enormous dependency on the music industry. The music industry is not happy about AI-generated covers using the voices of its artists. Notably, Fake Drake caused a huge kerfuffle. Universal Music Group went to Google. They announced some rules.

They're going to prevent deepfakes or allow some licensing of the money to flow back to the artists. That is a very private industry. sort of licensing scheme that sits outside of the law, it sits outside of the other platforms. Do you think YouTube is going to lead the way here because it has that pressure or is that just a one-off to the music industry?

I feel like politicians are always asking for donations. Maybe that's just the way to solve the problem. You just pay for the lies as long as politicians are getting paid. From what I gather, particularly Donald Trump, as long as he's getting paid, he might be cool with it.

Outside of YouTube, which does have this big dependency on the labels and licensing and so I think is leading the way on having any particular policy with specificity, do any of the other platforms have ideas here that are more than we have an existing policy and we'll see how it works with the problem?

Is that shipped yet? I feel like we've been talking about C2PA and the content authenticity initiative. We've had Dana Rau, Adobe's general counsel, on the show. He said the deepfake of the pope wearing a puffer jacket was, quote, a catalyzing event for content provenance, which is an amazing quote, and all credit to Dana for it. But there's people wanting to do it.
