The Facts
According to a report published Tuesday by a UN agency, developments in artificial intelligence (AI) technology could increase the spread of false and misleading information about the Holocaust online.
The report — published by the UN Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) in partnership with the World Jewish Congress — has outlined ways in which AI could potentially distort Holocaust-related history and fuel antisemitism.
The Spin
Pro-establishment narrative
Misinformation and deliberate manipulation by bad actors could be used to encourage violence and spread lies about the Holocaust. Developers and tech companies must take this report seriously and establish rules to govern the development and use of AI.
Establishment-critical narrative
The threats of deepfakes and generative AI are greatly exaggerated, as conventional forms of media remain more popular for creating and spreading manipulated and false narratives. While this technology shouldn't be underestimated, warnings over the threats of AI often stray into alarmism.
