Tech giant Microsoft has raised concerns over the involvement of AI-generated content in upcoming elections of major countries like India, the USA, and South Korea. Allegedly, the AI content mentioned by the Guardian is referred to be generated by China.

After failing miserably in the presidential election in Taiwan, Microsoft has warned that China will try again this year to sabotage elections in the US, South Korea, and India with artificial intelligence-generated disinformation.

In a report released on Friday, the US tech company’s threat intelligence team stated that it anticipated North Korean involvement in high-profile elections targeted by Chinese state-sponsored cyber groups in 2024.

AI Involvement in Elections Increases

CNBC claims that AI is currently actively participating in the 2024 presidential election. The research emphasizes how artificial intelligence (AI) has been used by government agencies as well as in political campaigns.

Even though artificial intelligence has the potential to swing elections, experts believe that because the public mistrusts politicians and the lack of AI legislation, these technological breakthroughs will remain in the background.

AI to Propagate False News This Election Season

The influence of artificial intelligence on political campaigns and elections has been emphasized repeatedly by different institutions. Governments all around the world are using artificial intelligence (AI) to create words, images, and videos that serve to “manipulate” public opinion in their favor, according to a recent research published in the MIT Technology Review.

Furthermore, researchers described the use of generative AI in 16 countries “to sow doubt, smear opponents, or influence public debate” in a document that was just published by the human rights advocacy group Freedom House.

Additionally, as generative artificial intelligence techniques progress, political actors will continue to utilize them to disseminate false information. Users need to exercise caution while accessing digital content because misinformation is circulating rather frequently.
