• Abstract: Online platforms are seeing increasing amounts of AI-generated content -- text and other forms of media that are made or co-created with generative AI. This trend suggests platforms may need to establish governance frameworks, including policies and enforcement strategies for how users create, post, share, and engage with such content to encourage responsible use. We investigate the governance of AI-generated content across 40 popular social media platforms. Just over two-thirds explicitly describe governance of AI-generated content spanning six themes. Most platforms focus on moderating AI-generated content that violates established content rules and discloses AI-generated content. Fewer platforms -- those that are focused on creativity and knowledge-sharing -- address other issues such as ownership and monetization. Based on these findings, we suggest stakeholders and policymakers develop more direct, comprehensive, and forward-looking AI-generated content governance, as well as tools and education for users about the use of such content.

  We introduce an integration of wireless perception with AI-generated content (AIGC) to improve the quality of digital content production. The framework employs a novel multi-scale perception technology to read user's posture, which is difficult to describe accurately in words, and transmits it to the AIGC model as skeleton images. Since the production process imposes the user's posture as a constraint on the AIGC model, it makes the generated content more aligned with the user's requirements.

  In recent years, there has been an increased emphasis on understanding and mitigating adverse impacts of artificial intelligence (AI) technologies on society. A significant challenge in the design of ethical AI systems is that there are multiple stakeholders in the AI pipeline, each with their own set of constraints and interests. This position paper outlines some potential ways in which generative artworks can play this role by serving as accessible and powerful educational tools.
