Is this technology making propaganda more effective?
and more sophisticated.
For instance, it can be more directed to a specific audience.
In twenty twenty three, then New York City Mayor Eric Adams used AI to send robocalls to constituents in languages other than English, including Mandarin and Yiddish.
In the last Republican presidential primary, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis released Deep Fakes depicting Trump hugging and kissing Dr.
Anthony Fauci.
The following year, OpenAI reported that Russian, Chinese, and Iranian groups used the company's models to create fake content, including comments on social media sites in various languages.
And just this March there was a new study from USC that found human posters aren't even necessary.
An army of AI agents can organize and coordinate propaganda campaigns on social media all by themselves.
One of the lead scientists said, Our paper shows that this is not a future threat.
It's already technically possible.
Although it's easier to make, Daresta says ultimately propaganda is still limited by the way it's distributed.
Like the one you heard at the top of the show.
Duresta says the reason the Lego clips are being spread so widely is because they're compelling.
Plus, the videos are capitalizing on the toy's popularity.
And the message behind the Legos is pretty straightforward.
Oftentimes when we think of AI, we think of deception.
We imagine being fooled by AI deep fakes, but Daresta says the Lego videos stand out because they are not that.
The bigger problem emerges when the political deepfakes look more realistic, especially as they come across our social media feeds.
More on that after the break.
