Prominent IT giant Microsoft has voiced concern about China using AI-generated content in the country's upcoming major elections.
HISTORICAL POINTS
Microsoft has issued a warning, stating that China intends to use artificial intelligence-generated misinformation to influence elections in the US, South Korea, and India this year.
According to CNBC, artificial intelligence is actively involved in the 2024 presidential election.
Artificial intelligence (AI) is being used by governments all around the world to produce words, pictures, and movies that are intended to "manipulate" public opinion.
Concerns about AI-generated content being used in upcoming elections in key nations including South Korea, the USA, and India have been voiced by tech giant Microsoft. China is allegedly the source of the AI content that the Guardian mentioned.
AI-Generated Content to undermine Elections Microsoft has issued a warning that China may attempt to use artificial intelligence-generated disinformation to undermine elections in the US, South Korea, and India this year after its disastrous performance in the presidential election in Taiwan.
The threat intelligence team of a US tech business predicted that North Korea would be involved in prominent elections in 2024 that are targeted by Chinese state-sponsored cyber groups, according to a research that was made public on Friday.
Election Involvement with AI Rises
According to CNBC, artificial intelligence is actively involved in the 2024 presidential election. The study highlights the applications of artificial intelligence (AI) in political campaigns and by government organizations.
Experts predict that despite the potential for artificial intelligence to influence elections, these technological advancements will remain in the background due to public mistrust of politicians and the absence of AI regulation.
AI Will Spread Misinformation During Election Season
Several organizations have underlined again and time again how artificial intelligence affects political campaigns and elections. According to a new study published in the MIT Technology Review, governments all around the world are utilizing artificial intelligence (AI) to produce words, images, and videos that help to "manipulate" public opinion in their favor.
In addition, researchers detailed how generative AI is being used in 16 nations "to sow doubt, smear opponents, or influence public debate" in a report recently released by Freedom House, an advocacy group for human rights.
Furthermore, political players will continue to use generative artificial intelligence systems to spread misleading information as they advance. Because false information is spreading quite a bit, users should use caution when viewing digital stuff.
