AI Generated Labels Will Protect Users, Boost Digital Literacy
KUALA LUMPUR, July 14 (Bernama) -- Using AI Generated labels on all content produced by artificial intelligence (AI) will protect users from digital fraud and online safety threats.
Malaysian Crime Prevention Foundation Cyber Security Committee deputy chairman Lt Col (R) Mustaffa Ahmad said such labels could serve as an early warning to users in identifying any content, and boost digital literacy among the public as many still find it hard to differentiate between original content and those manipulated or produced completely by AI.
'So this labelling is very important to protect users who are easily exposed to digital fraud, especially senior citizens.
'For instance, there was a viral AI video of a new tourist location with a cable car that deceived an elderly citizen into going there but the place didn't really exist. So it's not just a technology issue, but about user safety and protection,' he told Bernama.
He said the labels would serve as an education tool for the public so that users would be careful about information shared or viewed on social media.
Meanwhile, Universiti Tun Hussein Onn Malaysia (UTHM) Department of Information Security and Web Technology senior lecturer Dr Noor Zuraidin Mohd Safar stressed on the importance of clear and complete guidelines to ensure the effectiveness of the labels and to avoid confusion among users and industry players.
Without a clear definition, labels like 'AI Generated' risked to be misinterpreted and would affect the confidence of users and the creative industry, she cautioned.
'The government has to set a clear definition on what is considered AI content. Is it only content produced completely by AI or includes content that uses AI for an early draft, idea or title,' she said, adding that the guidelines would also help avoid too stringent use that would end up stifling creativity, especially among independent content creators and small companies using AI as support tools.

OpenAI Adds Google Cloud to Boost AI Compute Capacity
OPENAI has included Alphabet's Google Cloud among its suppliers to meet escalating demands for computing capacity, according to an updated list published on the ChatGPT maker's website. The artificial-intelligence giant also relies on services from Microsoft, Oracle, and CoreWeave. The deal with Google, finalized in May after months of discussions, was first reported by Reuters citing a source in June. The arrangement underscores how massive computing demands to train and deploy AI models are reshaping the competitive dynamics in AI, and marks OpenAI's latest move to diversify its compute sources beyond its major supporter Microsoft, including its high-profile Stargate data center project. Earlier this year, OpenAI partnered with SoftBank and Oracle on the $500 billion Stargate infrastructure program and signed multi-billion-dollar agreements with CoreWeave to bolster computing capacity. The partnership with Google is the latest of several maneuvers made by OpenAI to reduce its dependency on Microsoft whose Azure cloud service had served as the ChatGPT maker's exclusive data center infrastructure provider until January. Google and OpenAI discussed an arrangement for months but were previously blocked from signing a deal due to OpenAI's lock-in with Microsoft, a source had told Reuters - REUTERS

OpenAI working on payment checkout system within ChatGPT, FT reports

REUTERS/Dado Ruvic/Illustration/File Photo (Reuters) -OpenAI is planning to take a cut from online product sales made through ChatGPT by integrating a payment checkout system into the chatbot, the Financial Times reported on Wednesday, citing multiple people familiar with the proposals. Merchants that fulfill orders through the payment system will pay a commission to OpenAI, the report said. The move would allow OpenAI to tap a new source of revenue, taking advantage of the heavy user traffic on ChatGPT, in addition to its traditional subscription model. The checkout feature is still in development, but OpenAI and partners such as e-commerce platform Shopify have been presenting early versions of the system to brands and discussing financial terms, the report said. OpenAI and Shopify did not immediately respond to Reuters requests for comment. The two companies had announced a partnership earlier this year, shortly after the AI startup launched an enhanced shopping feature to better display products and reviews, the report added. The Sam Altman-led company currently displays suggested products on ChatGPT through links that take users to online retailers' websites. OpenAI said earlier this year that its annualized revenue run rate surged to $10 billion as of June, up from $5.5 billion in December 2024. The company, however, lost around $5 billion last year.
