Recently, a federal lawsuit regarding a Minnesota law on 'using deepfake technology to influence elections' has sparked new controversy. The plaintiff's legal team pointed out in the latest legal documents that the affidavits supporting this law may contain text generated by artificial intelligence. Image source note: The image was generated by AI, provided by Midjourney according to reports from the Minnesota Reformer, where the state's Attorney General Keith Ellison had requested the Stanford Social Media Lab's assistance.

Google has released the PaLI-3 visual language model, which is lightweight yet achieves SOTA performance. This model employs a contrastive pre-training method and deeply explores the potential of VIT, demonstrating outstanding performance in multilingual modality retrieval. PaLI-3 perfectly integrates natural language understanding and image recognition, becoming an important force in AI innovation. The model's SigLIP-based contrastive pre-training method opens up a new era for multilingual cross-modal retrieval. Although it has not been fully open-sourced, multilingual and English SigLIP models have been released, providing opportunities for researchers to experiment.
