兰德：2024人工智能图像危害分析与网络真实性维护报告（英文版）

The democratization of image-generating artificial intelligence (AI) tools without regulatory guardrails has amplified preexisting harms on the internet. The emergence of AI images on the internet began with generative adversarial networks (GANs), which are neural networks1 containing (1) a generator algorithm that creates an image and (2) a discriminator algorithm to assess the image’s quality and/or accuracy. Through several collaborative rounds between the generator and discriminator, a fi
