Decoding Disinformation

New Prediction
There is no doubt that many countries view OpenAI as a threat and will likely block access to it. These countries will likely be hardened regimes such as DPRK, Russia, China, or Iran. It is probable that these countries will attempt to compete with similar platforms.

None of DPRK, Russia, China, or Iran is in the list of supported countries - i.e. they have already banned it, hence they are actually irrelevant to the question.

New Prediction
Why do you think you're right?
Each of these media companies appear to support initiatives to tackle disinformation and would likely provide their support.

New Prediction
These threats are likely to become more prevalent in the near future. As industry becomes more aware of these technologies they will increase their ability to detect them through research initiatives. However, it is difficult to assess how far along Meta is at identifying these threats.

New Prediction
Why do you think you're right?
Probably, as external threats increase with traditional and technically sophisticated adversaries it is probable the US Government will put increasing pressure on social media platforms to enable digital provenance. 
Files
Why might you be wrong?
Without US Government involvement it is doubtful that some of these platforms would participate.

Why do you think you're right?
Humans will do what is convenient which I why believe a majority of the world population will enroll in World ID. Despite this, many governments around the world have lost trust with the citizens as a result of their handling of the COVID-19 pandemic. There will be a number of people who will resist enrolling in World ID as they will likely view this as a means of greater governmental control and a violation of privacy.

New Prediction
Why do you think you're right?
AI generated social media posts could have a drastic effect on US free elections. It is in the best interest of the US government to address this issue prior to elections. Additionally, the EU has already made a plea to these social media giants to address this problem. 
Files
Why might you be wrong?

Without US government involvement it is doubtful that all four of these social media giants would participate. Additionally, it is possible that even with US government involvement that our political parties would cooperate due to the state of the US political climate.
