AI ‘godfather’ Yoshua Bengio: Disinformation bot threat is ‘shocking’ | BBC News
People can easily make fake election-related images with artificial intelligence tools, despite rules designed to prevent such content.
Politicians including US President Joe Biden and Mayor of London Sadiq Khan have found themselves victims of deepfakes.
These are fake images or audio recordings generated by AI and have spread rapidly across social media.
AI threatens to “supercharge” disinformation and incite violence at elections, the US deputy attorney general has warned.

The 2026 World Cup kicked off last night in Mexico, after a series of controversies in the lead up, including over visas for foreign teams, fans, media and officials hoping to go to the host countries: US, Canada and Mexico.
The latest scandal involves Fifa dropping Somali referee Omar Artan, after the US refused him entry.
Fifa‘s president Gianni Infantino said “we don’t control everything”, and asked critics to “chill”.
US Customs and Borders protection said in a statement that “derogatory information, including association with suspected members of terror organisations” was discovered after Omar Artan landed at Miami International Airport to attend the tournament.
Artan says he told border officials he knows nothing about the Somali militant group Al Shabab.
Today, we speak to Charles Gitonga, senior journalist and host of the BBC’s Focus on Africa podcast, about how Africans are reacting to the news, and whether the controversies will have long-term consequences for US-Africa relations.

Millions of children in the UK will be forced off social media after the government announced it would ban under-16s from accessing a range of platforms.
Apps including TikTok, Snapchat and Instagram will become inaccessible for children, Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer said.
“We hope to pass regulation before Christmas,” he said, with the ban coming into force in spring 2027.
Tech companies including Meta, Snapchat and YouTube warned a blanket ban would move children into more unsafe online environments.
The government is yet to release the full list of platforms affected, but said YouTube, Facebook and X would also be included.
