Created fake campaign ads that can encourage people to cast votes that would not be counted this included images for example that look like they’re responsive by the Clinton campaign and encouraged their supporters to vote by text or by social media now of course it was fake he was recently
Convicted in New York and faces 10 years in prison for spreading what are considered to be memes similarly back in 2016 the Clinton campaign the DNC and the Obama Intel Community created and then disseminated false information on then candidate Donald Trump which made it appear he colluded with Russia that information
Was used to mislead voters in three elections in 2016-2018 and in 2020 and they were also convicted wait no sorry they were not convicted nobody went to jail for that one but that’s beside the point folks what’s important now is 2024 and there’s a new threat to the elections this time
It’s artificial intelligence Russia could use it to spread disinformation internet trolls could use it to mislead voters with fake campaign ads just like Douglas Mackey was found guilty of AI could even be used for racism or to undermine socialism I mean equity open AI CEO Sam Altman even told the
Senate panel that the use of artificial intelligence to interfere with election Integrity is a significant area of concern watch it’s one of my areas of greatest concern the the the more General ability of these models to manipulate to persuade to provide sort of one-on-one uh you know interactive
Disinformation I think that’s like a broader version of what you’re talking about but given that we’re going to face an election next year and these models are getting better I think this is a significant area of concern well maybe a significant area of concern but the Biden Administration they have a
Solution and the solution is massive government control over information through artificial intelligence look I’m half joking here being a little tongue-in-cheek but this is actually pretty serious AI can be used to create deeply convincing videos images and audio of just about anybody and we can expect to
See a lot of fake news using this type of Technology realistically some of this will be from people making online jokes others could be from organized groups trying to actually cause harm some could be from hostile countries this is a very real threat to the very nature of Truth and of reality
But look the solution that’s now being put in place may not be any better in fact it may be a lot worse some countries are pushing for verified human IDs meaning they need to prove you’re human others are pushing for deeper online monitoring for information which could include basically the
Elimination of digital privacy in the United States well the government is putting in place new AI Control Systems that could affect the very foundations of online information the media establishment most of the mainstream press they’ve been pushing this narrative very hard lately the Associated Press recently warned that
These new AI Technologies they claim are quote realistic enough to fool voters and perhaps sway an election now we’ve seen some real world examples of this giving them some credit people have been creating for example joke videos of Joe Biden or Hillary Clinton making really controversial statements others have included fake interviews and
For the most part it’s been done mainly as jokes people are doing it because it’s funny but the technology can actually look surprisingly real check this one out this is an interview done with Joe Rogan and Donald Trump and it never happened watch is it true that you won’t be going back
To Twitter even though Elon Musk bought it and reinstalled your account Joe let me tell you true social is the future of social media it’s the best the biggest the most outstanding platform out there and I’m proud to say that we have exclusive agreements in place that
Ensure that our users will always have access to the most powerful and effective means of communication now the audio that is purely from AI the images they put on afterwards yeah it’s not perfect some would be you know some actually would find it pretty convincing though now they’re actually similar
Posts going around with you know the controversy for example with school libraries and target for example bringing on a clothing line from a designer who is openly promoting Satanism which actually did happen but someone created AI generated images around this and it really managed to fool quite a few people
Some of the images are actually very real looking now keep in mind also however this is not just about AI videos and images it’s also about information and how information more specifically is being curated many conservatives have noted very accurately that AI has a very serious left-wing bias queries of news
Articles and stories and so on with AI systems such as you know chat GPT they often give left-wing talking points the technology could be problematic especially with that and especially in a system of government like ours in the United States where people vote for their elected leaders based on their
Best Judgment of public information what happens when only one site is being shown but we’re also one of those situations again where while facing a crisis the solution could be worse than the problem as things currently stand the new regulations already being worked on some already in place could have a massive
Impact on the Restriction of information we know for example that AI has a political bias caused in part by the companies behind them you know Google Microsoft and others if journalists students or researchers use AI for their works the news articles and reports they create from that will also
Contain that same bias then if Regulators like the federal government try to control AI order regulated more completely to you know fight against disinformation then they will begin regulating information at its root in other words they would control the system that curates information that journalists students and researchers at many
Organizations are currently using and they can become The Gatekeepers in other words of an approved government reality now alongside this are the fact checked keep in mind Twitter has broken the mold to an extent using their Community note system something controversial but gives people really the power to fact check that’s
The ability of the Twitter Community to fact check content themselves even Biden himself is getting fact checked but what happens with other tools for fact checking if they rely on AI as we’re already seeing for example some news outlets and search engines are already doing that
What would it mean in other words that really it means the person who controls the AI controls the fact checks and whoever controls the checks on information controls the information that it generates that brings us to the government takeover of AI well folks guess who’s in charge of the new government program
Program on AI there’d be none other than vice president Kamala Harris she’s your new aisr stay tuned after the break we’ll be going into the government programs on AI and what that means for who controls information
