Continuing this thread on misinformation - Latest example: "A network of nearly 90 TikTok accounts has been using artificial intelligence to create fake versions of high-profile Spanish-language journalists and spread falsehoods online for potential financial gain."

nbcnews.com

What's behind the TikTok accounts using AI-generated versions of real Latino journalists?

The accounts point to the challenge of stopping or controlling the surge in fake images and misinformation targeting Spanish speakers in the U.S. as AI technology advances.

The deepfake crisis for women and girls has grown tremendously. It isn’t mentioned in most AI discourse, even though it’s the primary use of deepfakes by far. Now, it is being used to victimize dozens of teen girls. The perpetrators include their male classmates www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

For teen girls victimized by ‘deepfake’ nudes, there is little recourse

The FBI has warned that technology used to create pornographic deepfake photos and videos was improving and being used for harassment and sextortion.
