The growth of misinformation perpetrated by \u2018bad actors\u2019 is a real and present danger. Whilst Twitter has long been known as a hive of bots (and thus distrusted for years), lately Insta, Facebook, YouTube and even TikTok have witnessed the infiltration of anonymous accounts pushing far-right agendas and ideology. With the growth in the ability of technology to mimic and be mistaken for \u2018real\u2019 people, it takes a lot of time to follow the trail of the \u2018account\u2019 back to its source.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sometimes, tracing back an account is not necessary. A review of the account\u2019s last few posts reveals its very dubious nature. Perhaps the account has only just been set up, perhaps it has no owner\u2019s photo or bio, perhaps the posts prior to the latest were of a completely opposite point of view, meaning that there is a possibility that someone or something took over the account\/stole it and repurposed it for its new owner\u2019s ends.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Add in the new kid on the block\u2014Artificial Intelligence\u2014and you have a poisonous cocktail of misinformation and disruption.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We have all seen and heard what AI can do, the fake photographs of people and events that never actually happened (such as the Pope in rapper gear (Carterr), and Trump being arrested by police (Lajka and Marcelo)). We may have also seen those many \u2018deep fake\u2019 videos of celebrities saying words and phrases they never said (Sant). Now we have AI generating pop songs in the style of major performers that are indistinguishable from the original artist. What is to stop a programmer creating a song or a video of Ye going hard with his antisemitism? Of divorcing celebrities saying horrible things about each other and thus sewing the seed of doubt about their ex in the public\u2019s eyes and ears?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Friend and fellow Business Communicator Shel Holtz recently showed the power of AI to help the creator write betterer (Holtz).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"AI<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Sure, AI can be used for good\u2014researching, fact-gathering\u2014but its ability to generate anything digital should cause concern. Sadly, politicians and governments seem to be unable to either keep up with what AI is able to create, or to legislate it. AI is moving too fast to be stopped by mere humans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
