Has the coming to light of a dark side of bleeding-edge AI-bedrocked technology complicated modern day life?

 Dear critical reader, it would appear that modern day life just got a tad more complicated, for humankind, because of a dark side of bleeding-edge AI -bedrocked technology, coming to light, so to speak.


News reports that voters in the U. S. State of New Hampshire, received, and were taken in, by robocalls using a deep-faked voice of President Joe Biden "telling them to skip the state's upcoming primary election", to quote Business Insider, have apparently shaken many, globally. What to do to stop the proliferation of deep-fakes from poisoning societal discourse globally, one wonders?

Perhaps, dear critical-reader, the question to ponder over, as regards this new unwelcome AI-bedrocked deep-fakery darkish-tech-challenge, is: Is it the case that all the world's telecommunications companies without exception,  must be forced to take steps, swiftly, going foward into the future, to stop cybercrimes and protect consumers worldwide, that way - or should new legislation be passed, under certificates of urgency, globally, prescribing mandatory death sentences for cybercrimes: to protect law abiding folk worldwide from ending up becoming victims of such devastating AI-bedrocked scams?

Better still, dear critical-reader,
would combining both approaches, also enable regulators, law enforcement agencies and the nation-state national security apparatuses, of all the sovereign states of the world, to protect innocent law-abiding people, globally, from being victimised by such terrifying AI-underpinned online scams? Perhaps we must all be a tad more careful when using our digital devices when navigating the landscape of the brave new world of the AI-tech-bedrocked era? Yes? No?

Clearly, modern day life just got a bit more complicated for humankind, because of this dark side of bleeding-edge AI technology, it would appear, dear critical-reader, lol. Such is life!
