U.S. Special Operations Command, RAND Corporation Propose AI-Generated Social Media Users for Disinformation Campaign
Oct 17, 2024, 04:36 PM
The U.S. Special Operations Command is pursuing the development of AI-generated social media users that mimic real individuals for intelligence-gathering purposes. This initiative is part of a broader strategy that includes proposals from the RAND Corporation for disinformation campaigns targeting Russia, China, and North Korea. The aim is to create deepfake internet users that appear human but do not exist in reality, raising concerns about the potential use of propaganda and manipulation of public perception. The Pentagon's interest in these technologies has sparked discussions about the ethical implications and the government's commitment to addressing deceptive deepfakes.
