The AI snaps were made by Luca Allievi using Midjourney. (Luca Allievi/SWNS)AI generated image of the much loved late Queen Elizabeth II, on the decks, mixing it up. Obviously fake.
To the Editor
This morning, an article in The Guardian newspaper discussed the potential of AI generated content that could pose a risk to political elections.
The solution is quite straightforward.
Yet nobody seems prepared to articulate it.
Targeting people who present with biases, lack of accurate knowledge, fears and worries with content designed to exacerbate the emotional reactions associated with those vulnerabilities, in order to drive behavioural change that can be exploited for political gain, is the problem here.
Many media are utilised to do this. It is not something new.
What is the best term to describe this activity?
It is grooming. It is psychological and emotional abuse.
AI increases the scale and precision of delivery systems of such content.
We know that the problem is already part of current political activism. Brexit, Trump, anti-LGBTQA+ 'activism', misogyny, anti-abortion have all 'influenced' elections. Cambridge Analytica and SCL are two well known entities proven to have engaged in this kind of content delivery.
The solution is Legislation that defines this activity, and makes it a criminal offence to engage in this activity. Such legislation does not impede or limit Free Speech, it protects Free Speech, in as much as it sets a standard of evidence, honesty and integrity as an essential element of Free Speech. Such legislation is protective, rather than oppressive. It does not impede Freedom of Religion. What it might do is create a firewall between Religious Belief and Secular Governance, which in my view, is an essential step, long overdue.
Human Rights Legislation and evidence is the basis for healthy Governance, and Human Rights Legislation protects the rights of Religious communities and individuals to practice their respective faiths.
