We need ai regulation so quickly, and one thing that would be interesting for ai articles to be required to have a validation check marking it as AI, and ai platforms should be required to prove their content came from that ai

Maybe a watermark?

When people can run AI locally, what good is regulation going to do? Laws don't stop crimes, it's just they'll get punished, if caught. It's the internet. They likely won't even be in the same continent, let alone country. Propaganda from malicious actors abroad isn't going to be prevented by regulation, they're going to have entire departments dedicated to it, so is Uncle Sam.
That's like licensing all photocopiers to make sure the state knows who can produce propaganda. Not only is it an obvious rights violation, but it will never work.

If watermarking is the solution it needs to be applied to the legitimate content.

Yeah, I am not qualified to develop the solution, but I am qualified enough to agree that this is going to be a difficult, slippery slope.

What I thought was going to be a massive cyber-war with russia/ukraine/nato/US/China, did not turn out so.

But once we have the first major cyber attack on [sinfrastructure] with an AI based crawling weapons, such as an AI developed STUXNET/DUQU - then we will have crossed the threshold into the next information era.
