• Abstract: How are Reddit communities responding to AI-generated content? We explored this question through a large-scale analysis of subreddit community rules and their change over time. We collected the metadata and community rules for over $300,000$ public subreddits and measured the prevalence of rules governing AI. We labeled subreddits and AI rules according to existing taxonomies from the HCI literature and a new taxonomy we developed specific to AI rules. While rules about AI are still relatively uncommon, the number of subreddits with these rules more than doubled over the course of a year. AI rules are more common in larger subreddits and communities focused on art or celebrity topics, and less common in those focused on social support. These rules often focus on AI images and evoke, as justification, concerns about quality and authenticity. Overall, our findings illustrate the emergence of varied concerns about AI, in different community contexts. Platform designers and HCI researchers should heed these concerns if they hope to encourage community self-determination in the age of generative AI. We make our datasets public to enable future large-scale studies of community self-governance.

  This paper critically examines the European Union's Artificial Intelligence Act (EU AI Act) Uses insights from Alignment Theory (AT) research, which focuses on the potential pitfalls of technical alignment in Artificial Intelligence. As we apply these concepts to the EU AI Act, we uncover potential vulnerabilities and areas for improvement in the regulation.

  We take steps towards examining the potential impact of AI-generated content on art-related communities on Reddit. We look at image-based posts made to these communities that are transparently created by AI, or comments in these communities that suspect authors of using generative AI. We show that AI content is more readily used by newcomers and may help increase participation if it aligns with community rules.

  Generative AI has begun to alter how we work, learn, communicate, and participate in online communities. We focus on online community moderators' experiences with AI-generated content (AIGC) Our study finds that rules about AIGC are motivated by concerns about content quality, social dynamics, and governance challenges. We find that, despite the absence of foolproof tools for detecting AIGC, moderators were able to somewhat limit the disruption caused by this new phenomenon by working with their communities to clarify norms.

We discuss how biased models can lead to more negative real-world outcomes for certain groups. If the issues persist, they could be reinforced by interactions with other risks and have severe implications on society in the form of social unrest.

  General interest in AI and a higher educational level are predictive of some engagement with AI. Ethical issues are voiced only by a small subset of citizens with fairness, accountability, and transparency being the least mentioned ones. Once ethical AI is top of the mind, there is some potential for activism.

  Artificial intelligence is already being applied in and impacting many important sectors in society, including healthcare, finance, and policing. The role of AI governance is ultimately to take practical steps to mitigate this risk of harm while enabling the benefits of innovation in AI. It also requires thinking through the normative question of what beneficial use of AI in society looks like, which is equally challenging.
