AI advancements challenge society’s trust in online interactions.

Evidence

When we started working on this, there was this moment where AI was, in some sense, passing the Turing test. It can talk to us; it can interact with us and maybe eventually create real-time videos. We knew there was a fundamental shift to how the internet will function. We concluded that we really will need some version of a proof of humanity. By default, we have trusted everything we’ve seen on the internet. In the coming years, that will change into a default to not trust. We will not trust anything that we see if it’s not proven to be made by a human. — Joanna Stern, I Am Not a Robot- My Year Using AI to…, 1175
