Motion

On Standards for the Integrity of Public Information in the Age of Artificial Intelligence

The Young World Parliament,

Alarmed that synthetic audio, images and video can now impersonate candidates and officials at negligible cost,

Recognising that public trust, once lost to deception, is slow to recover,

Aware that measures against deception must not become instruments of censorship,

  1. Urges that all synthetic media depicting real public officials or candidates carry a clear, durable label of its origin;
  2. Calls upon public authorities to publish a register of the automated systems used in decisions that affect individuals’ rights;
  3. Recommends an election-period protocol under which platforms respond to reported impersonation of candidates within twenty-four hours;
  4. Affirms that no measure under this Resolution shall restrict satire, journalism or lawful political speech;
  5. Transmits this Resolution to the United World Leaders Council on the Integrity of Governance in the Age of AI.

Counsel

Senior Counsellors, the former Presidents and Prime Ministers of United World Leaders, may publish written Counsel on a frozen text. They advise; they never vote.
