NIA's international Ai Honesty Treaty will require all participating countries to recognise the non-disclosure of Ai generated material as an illegal act of misrepresentation, under international trade laws. We are also campaigning to stop Ai usage or manipulation of 'Ni Declaration' labelled materials, without the creator or owner's consent, credit and compensation (including the cloning of faces, body, voices, performances, words, music or 'style'). We believe that unauthorised use of private and intellectual property should be dealt with to the same degree of identity theft and IP infringement for machines as it is for humans, under existing privacy acts and copyright laws.


"NIA's multi-national Ai Honesty Treaty is essential to protect humanity
from fake Ai photos, video clips, events and news reports, which can
at best be misleading or sensational, and at worst disrespectful,
offensive, harmful or dangerous when bias, slander, discrimination or defamation is involved."
Manly Scribe.


NIA believes that the existing 'International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights' should include our 'Ai Honesty' protocol within their manifesto policies. This would ensure that all intellectual, creative, commercial and public media content that involves the use of generative Ai to any degree, is openly disclosed as such, so as to set a new standard of immediately identifiable and reliable transparency, in an attempt to avoid exposing web users and media consumers to mal/mis/disinformation, untrue claims, covert propaganda, fake history or any other false yet convincing picture, message, post, report, persuasion, event or influential broadcast.
 

"I just watched a TikTok reel where Nigel Farage claimed that due to overcrowding of cells, UK judges have been instructed NOT to send rapists to prison from 2024 onwards! Not only is the video so convincing that it appears totally legitimate, but after searching for more info on this and getting nowhere, I realised how sad it is that not only do we live in a time where such a claim is not entirely improbable, but our airwaves have become so adulterated with sensational rubbish, that without one of NIA's Honesty Treaty logos to determine the video's authenticity (one way or the other), there's no easy way to discern whether it's actually a fake Ai joke taking the rise out of Nigel, or another genuine cause for concern."
Manly Scribe.


IMPORTANT: NIA's manifesto for the 'AI Honesty' Treaty also requests that restrictions in 'Ai training', 'machine learning' and 'dataset access' processes, adhere to a strictly voluntary 'opt-in' criteria that is implemented across the board, by default. This means that, instead of everyone having to tolerate the tedium of manually opting-out of Ai data-harvesting (like we currently have to with the incessant rejection or denial of unessential cookies), everyone is automatically protected, unless they choose to opt-in to such Ai usage.


"If we're not allowed to go on-line, download a Banksy picture and add our own symbolic changes, then upload and share it as our own creation for payment or promotion - then why are Ai platforms allowed to?"
Manly Scribe.


All historical archives, established media offerings, existing websites and traditional knowledge-bases should also be deemed as 'off limits' to Ai or bot-based web-scanning and data-extraction practices by default, unless they consent to such by opting-in. This means that all stock-media, shopping sites, web communities, social platforms, web-hubs, sharing portals, chat interfaces, open forums, member clubs, news outlets, SaaS sites, museums, databases, universities, science-labs, organisations, industries, projects, servers and archives that do choose to share data with Ai, should clearly indicate their 'pro Ai' relationship by displaying our 'Ai Disclosure' logo and stating the degree to which their users' data is exposed to Ai mining, harvesting, processing, manipulation and publication.


"It's all well and good claiming there's no harm in allowing Ai to harvest humanity's wealth of data, when most of it is 'anonymised for research' or educational purposes... but artists' pictures, songwriters' styles, programmers' code, writers' literature and public voices are being processed and presented by Ai in all manner of mutated formations, without the owners' approval.

Yet if we try and coax an Ai bot into providing financial information about corporate accounts, contracts, acquisitions or structures, they become defensive because there are very few tech-giants, organisations or corporations that allow any form of backdoor or boardroom access to their own proprietary data, confidential information or trade secrets, whether for public, commercial, statistical or regurgitative Ai purposes."
