Microsoft said in a report that China tried to use AI to spread lies during Taiwan’s election in January.
China plans to use AI-generated content to interfere in upcoming elections in India, the US, and South Korea, according to a report from Microsoft released on Friday.
Microsoft said that China will make and spread content made by AI on social media for elections. This content will favor China’s views. Though it’s unlikely that this content will change election outcomes, Microsoft thinks China will keep trying different ways to use AI to make memes, videos, and audio for elections, which might work better in the future. This information is from a report by Microsoft’s Threat Analysis Center.
