SINGAPORE — A new Bill will put in place measures to counter digitally manipulated content during elections, including misinformation generated using artificial intelligence (AI) — commonly known as deepfakes. The proposed safeguards under the Elections (Integrity of Online Advertising) (Amendment) Bill will apply to all online content that realistically depicts a candidate saying or doing something that he or she did not. This includes content made using non-AI techniques like Photoshop, dubbing, and splicing. If the Bill is passed, candidates will be able to ask the Returning Officer (RO) to review content that has misrepresented them. A false declaration of such misrepresentation is illegal and could result in a fine or loss of a seat. Others can also make requests to review such content, which is set to be made illegal from the issuance of the Writ of Election to the close of polling on Polling Day. The move comes ahead of a general election that must be held by November 2025.
