Is AI eroding democracy ahead of the US election? | BBC News

Images generated by artificial intelligence (AI), are one of the emerging disinformation trends ahead of the US presidential election in November.

Humans should be worried about the threat posed by AI, Microsoft founder Bill Gates said earlier this year. Gates has privately said he donated about $50 million to a pro-Harris super-PAC, according to reports.

On this week’s AI Decoded, the panel discusses the potential misuse of AI in the US political arena.

AI isn't ruining anything - human laziness, maliciousness, and greed is and always has. AI is just a tool. Don't blame the operator on the tool.

this is a horrific discussion. not only is political integrity at risk but the very concept of individual sovereign free will is under threat.

[nwhite]

is it AI telling me not to vote or the fact that I hate both candidates?

[nata]

Artificial Ignorance and Disgraceful Elitist Ignorance.

No one does a better job at eroding democracy than people. Let's not blame AI here.

the middle class is already a form of AI... so no change there then...

[obsidianjane]

No. PSYOPS is. AI is just the "force multiplier".

Did they manage to record this hours before the US announced its AI strategy?

[jimmyliu_youtube]

Just hope people who are supposed to write laws to regulate AI, don’t use AI to do so.

Lol how not to be duped by a supercomputer? Destroy the supercomputer

How many BBC viewers does it take to change a lightbulb?

None. The BBC just tell them its done and they all sit there clapping in the dark.

Can someone remind me how many prime Ministers the UK has had in 3 years

find American elections perplexing. It seems that both political parties are controlled by the same influential group, which means that regardless of who wins, the elected officials answer to their backers rather than the American public.

Counterintuitive is so perceptive for some, and so inceptive for others. Common sense & hypothetical syllogisms are not better than results. You humans have held onto the low optimization for to long.

[JjSquared-bwei]

Lol... Didn't labour just travel to the US to support kamala. Is that not foreign interference 😅

[DooDumDum]

The British ought to keep their opinions to themselves.

Approximately understand the meaning, but If i did not go for working by myself, no one will pay my costs of my daily life, at least, from the beginning of this year(after i was forced to quit the former company Stapro to now, it passed over almost 7-8 months already), i led my life by the deposit i saved from the former company from the society.

Is the current American democracy a good example to the world?🤣
