AI deepfakes may advance misinformation in upcoming elections | BBC News

Published

on



Artificial intelligence tools make it easy and fast to create convincing fake videos.

AI has already been used to disrupt elections around the world – and there are fears among senior politicians and the security services that the UK will be next.

If social media is flooded with synthetic images and text – even if it is clearly labelled as such – some experts fear voters could reach the point where where they no longer know what is real or not.

The media, the tech giants, the security services – and the political parties – will all have to grapple with this challenge at the next general election.

    The only fair and truth way to hold an HONEST TRUSTWORTHY ELECTION.

    ALL PAPER VOTING, no postal votes, NO TECHNOLOGY AT ALL, they have BACK DOORS built into them, so they are open to ABUSE AND CHEATING.

    WHEN being counted, members of BOTH PARTIES ALONG WITH MEMBERS OF THE GENERAL PUBLIC ARE PRESENT AT ALL TIMES.

    ONCE THE COUNT STARTS ITS NOT STOPPED UNTIL THE COUNT IS COMPLETE

    what is most concerning is the us election particularly given how much russia will be wanting trump to win

    Well, one thing we can be certain of is that the American presidential election if another contest between Trump and Biden, will be devoid of any intelligence, artificial or otherwise, regardless of any foreign threats. As for the UK, any AI is going to have a very difficult time emulating the dimwits that are the majority of the Tory party. Not even AI can successfully replicate nincompoops like Gove, Truss or Braverman.

    Still haven't recovered from Cambridge analytics. FYI we don't live in a democracy we live in a constitutional monarchy without a single constitution to read from. Democracy is an illusion as we always end up with a psychopath that feels like the NHS needs a crowded but bombs always get supported.

    Financial elites and their pocket politicians are simply afraid that they are losing the monopoly on mass misinformation and propaganda that they had by owning mainstream media. Elites are afraid, and its a good sign.

    Give it up BBC. No amount of information, real or false can change dissatisfaction will current politics and politicians, but mass censorship will most certainty work against those who do it.

US hits ‘dozens’ of Iranian sites in strikes, as Iran targets US bases in region | BBC News

Published

on



The US said it has hit “dozens” of Iranian military targets in overnight attacks, in response to Iran hitting commercial ships in the Strait of Hormuz.

The military said it struck “air-defense systems, coastal radar sites, missile and drone capabilities, and small boats”, using aircraft, ships, and drones – including “one-way attack sea drones for the first time”.

“The Strait of Hormuz is a vital maritime corridor for global trade,” the US military said. “Iran does not control it”.

In response, Iran said it targeted US bases in Jordan, Bahrain, and Kuwait and also radar systems in Oman.

Trump demands 20% toll on cargos passing through strait of Hormuz | BBC News

Published

on



President Donald Trump has said the US is reinstating a naval blockade of Iranian ports and will impose a 20% charge on all cargo shipped through the Strait of Hormuz following days of escalating strikes between the two countries.

He said this would stop “Iran’s ships or customers” from entering or leaving the key oil shipping route, but “all other countries will have fair and open use of the Strait”.

Iran’s foreign minister later said whoever provides safe passage “should be compensated for this service”, but Iran would remain the strait’s “GUARDIAN” – using Trump’s word.

Tehran and Washington clashed over the strait’s control after exchanging strikes in the region overnight and on Monday.

The US said it carried out strikes against military targets in Iran, targeting air defence systems, coastal radars, and missile and drone sites. Iran said it responded by striking US military bases in Kuwait, Jordan and Bahrain, and radars in Oman.
