The threat of deepfakes is entering high-level discussions from Southeast Asia to Davos.
The Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) has launched an expanded guide on governance and ethics for generative AI, including voluntary policy recommendations on risks and responsible use.

It also explains frontier and systemic risks linked to the long-term evolution of advanced generative AI models,
