Sheikh Hamdan announces new icon designs aimed at AI transparency
, Crown Prince of Dubai, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Defence, on Wednesday introduced a new classification system to indicate when artificial intelligence has been used in research and publications. The 'icons' were developed and designed by the Dubai Future Foundation, which was founded in 2016 to accelerate the adoption of new technology throughout the UAE. "Today we launched the world's first Human-Machine Collaboration Icons, a classification system that brings transparency to how research, publications and content are created," Sheikh Hamdan said on X. "The icons reflect Dubai's commitment to open, responsible, and future-ready innovation, and serve as a new global benchmark in the age of AI." The Crown Prince invited researchers and institutions to adopt the icons around the world. The classification system consists of five primary icons that indicate whether content is produced, either mainly or fully, by humans, mainly produced by humans but enhanced by AI for accuracy, produced by both humans and AI, made mainly by AI but with the help of humans, or generated completely by AI. The system also includes nine sub-classification icons specific to writing, translation, design and data, among others. According to the DFF, every report it produces in the future will make use of the new icons as part of a "commitment to transparency and establishing a new standard for ethical research practices". The introduction of icons comes at a time in which AI technology is being developed at a breakneck pace, helping humans expedite tasks, particularly in the space of content creation. That technology, however, has also presented ethical and philosophical questions about the whether it should be disclosed that AI was used in the process, and to what extent. In a white paper accompanying the announcement of new icons from DFF, the organisation sought to specify how it hopes they will be used. "By 'research and publications', we mean all intellectual and creative work carried out during the research process, content creation, publication design and related outputs," read the white paper. "This includes but is not limited to academic papers, research articles and reports, data visualisations, books, articles, visual content, art, educational materials and technical documentation." DFF invited "the global community" to provide feedback as to how to improve the icons, designs and classifications. The new icons are the latest in a string developments in the region related to AI. In recent years, the UAE − the Arab world's second-biggest economy − has pursued becoming an AI front-runner, as it seeks to diversify its economy from oil. The country's efforts have resulted in the establishment of start-ups, partnerships and investments from industry leaders. During US President Donald Trump's visit to the UAE in May, both countries agreed to increase collaboration on AI and unveiled plans for a new 5-gigawatt UAE-US AI campus in Abu Dhabi.

Japan news media association pledges accurate news for elections
The Japan Newspaper Publishers and Editors Association on Thursday pledged to provide accurate information for elections in a bid to prevent false news reported on social media and other platforms from influencing election results unfairly. "We will aggressively report news providing the public with accurate information," the association, or Nihon Shinbun Kyokai, said in a statement on the internet and election coverage, which was prepared by member companies. The statement says that social media platforms should take proactive measures against fake and false information on the internet, but it is difficult to say that they have done enough. "We are deeply concerned" that elections, which are the foundation of democracy, are being affected by unverified information, a situation that could lead to the destruction of democracy, it says. Meanwhile, the statement notes that there has been criticism that newspaper publishers and broadcasting firms have paid too much attention to the fairness of elections. Article 148 of the public offices election law stipulates that the fairness of elections should not be hindered by the abuse of freedom of expression. The association, however, clarified in a unified view compiled in 1966 that it is obvious that the article does not mean general news coverage and criticism should be regulated. It says that the position should be maintained even today. The statement underlines the need to conduct news coverage proactively, with that view in mind, as part of efforts to provide reliable information that helps voters make judgments by drastically revising how elections are reported and employing methods such as fact-checking.
