Microsoft accused of damaging Guardian's reputation with AI-generated poll

  • Fascinating. I just skimmed the United States AI regulation executive order and this type of scenario, reputational damage, it does not seem to be mentioned by the United States president's office.

    So it's like yet another way that AI can increase risk to business, through reputational harm of a financial entity.

    Is there a like a regular law about this kind of thing? I don't think so, implying that that's the poll was produced by the guardian.

    The power of suggestion, I guess content might need disclaimers that it's AI generated in order to avoid this sort of reputational harm but you know that would actually be really nice but I don't see that being advocated by any government regulators at the moment.

  • Microsoft has a licence with the Guardian to publish the news organisation’s journalism. The Guardian article and accompanying poll appeared on Microsoft Start, a news aggregation website and app.

    Well then, there's a fairly easy fix.

  • Is it possible to damage The Guardian's reputation any further?
