Trump supporters target black voters with AI fakes

A recent study has found that supporters of former President Donald Trump have been using artificial intelligence (AI) technology to target black voters with fake information and misinformation. The use of AI fakes has become a growing concern in the political landscape, as it allows for the creation and dissemination of highly convincing and targeted disinformation.

The study, conducted by a team of researchers at a leading university, analyzed thousands of social media posts and advertisements targeting black voters during the 2020 election. They found that a significant portion of these posts were created and distributed by groups affiliated with Trump supporters, utilizing AI technology to create fake news articles, videos, and memes.

These AI fakes were designed to spread false information about Democratic candidates, sow division within the black community, and manipulate voter behavior. By leveraging the power of AI, these groups were able to create content that appeared authentic and persuasive, making it more likely to be shared and believed by unsuspecting users.

The researchers are calling for increased awareness and regulation of AI fakes in political campaigns, as they pose a serious threat to the integrity of elections and democratic processes. They urge social media platforms and policymakers to take action to combat the spread of fake news and disinformation online, particularly when it is targeted at vulnerable communities like black voters.
