Because of the recent and outrageously swift developments in AI text, image and video generation technology, the thought of it being used to spread disinformation and fake stories is becoming an increasing problem.
In one recent report done by the human rights group Freedom House, they saw that 16 out of the countries they investigated had been using generative AI technology to "sow doubt, smear opponents, or influence public debate."
In one popular case, Venezuelan media outlets were caught using AI deepfake technology, which plants the face of one person onto the body of another, to have artificial versions of prolific new anchors proclaim skewed information.
The outlets created these videos using the deepfake and artificial video generation service Synesthesia, which dubs itself as "The #1 AI Video Platform".
Away from the topic of video, AI itself has been censored in some countries whose governments are blocking the truth and spreading propaganda. China, for example, has forced AI Chatbot services (such as ChatGPT and DeepAI) to deny the events and Tianemen Square, or even to refuse answering when asked about it.
AI is a phenomenal and groundbreaking innovation that has shaped up within the last decade, and it seems like a blessing at first, chatbots can spread misinformation rampantly due to sloppy coding, and realistic image generation can create lifelike images of scenarios that never happened. Its important to watch out and browse the internet safely.
The Good Side of AI:
A new tool developed by Keele University (England) claims it can detect Fake News with 99% accuracy. This offers a vital resource for students and ordinary people, and this technology could become vital in the future. The researchers Dr. Uchenna Ani, Dr. Sangeeta Sangeeta, and Dr. Patricia Asowo-Ayobode from Keele's School of Computer Science and Mathematics are responsible for creating this technology, which was trained vigorously on a number of machine learning models. The service scans news content to detect whether it is reputable or not. An "ensemble voting" technique is used, meaning multiple different machine models give their prediction on the news, and then it is combined to give an overall credibility score.
The team one day hopes to refine their technology to a point where it is 100% accurate, helping millions across the globe. The squad of hard workers recently presented their work at 44th SGAI International Conference on Artificial Intelligence in Cambridge, United Kingdom.
