May 21, 2024 06:00:00China and the Islamic State are reporting AI-generated propaganda disguised as newsIn recent years, the performance and ease of use of generative AI has improved dramatically, but the proliferation of AI-generated propaganda and fake news has become an issue. Propaganda and fake news using these AI-generated avatars are already spreading on social media. Taylor Williams, director of disinformation research firm Graphika, said, 'AI-generated propaganda doesn't need to be perfect. China is at the forefront of AI-generated fake news, with the Microsoft Threat Analysis Center (MTAC) warning in an April 2024 report that 'China plans to use AI-generated content to disrupt elections in the U.S., South Korea and India.' The Washington Post has labeled the AI-generated news anchor as 'AI-GENERATED,' but it is quite difficult to tell from the still image that it is AI-generated.
