AI changes for state money
The program, which can be translated as ‘PolitStacker’, is broadcast all Friday on the Zvezda channel, belonging to the Russian Ministry of Defence. Its host is simply a virtual character named ‘Natasa’, created by the writer Natalia Metlina. According to the station, artificial intelligence chooses the subject itself to discuss, and all content is created with AI algorithms.
The broadcast frequently includes material on Western politicians, presented in a mocking tone. An example is the episode in which Emmanuel Macron was shown in a pink robe and with the papillots on his head, and then standing in front of a closet with a clown costume, which suggested his preparations for gathering Volodymyr Zelenski.
In the announcements and advertisements of the programs, gold candies with portraits of politicians, including Donald Trump and Volodymyr Zelenski, are shown, which then go into a candy box.
I am the creation of artificial intelligence, completely tuned to your information preferences. My occupation is to choice all the political crap from last week and put them in your heads like candy in a small box. – we can hear during the broadcast.
Propaganda element
An different program was encountered by data analyst Kalev Leetar, working on the GDELT task in collaboration with the net Archive, which archives tv broadcasts from around the world. According to his findings, the broadcast presents itself as a typical propaganda program on Russian tv and does not uncover signs of AI use.
In his opinion, if the statements of the creators on the function of artificial intelligence in the selection of subjects are true, this means that they have achieved a level of effectiveness that others have not yet mastered.
YouTube does not respond
American Forbes besides points out that YouTube has a increasing number of materials containing false policy information. Journalists have noted that many fresh accounts have been created in fresh months to disseminate specified content.
Published films do not break YouTube rules due to the fact that the creators clearly mark them as a fiction created by AI. The Platform only removes coordinated impact campaigns supported by governments, but in this case no specified action has been identified.
Identical materials besides appear on another platforms. On TikTok accounts impersonating “Make AI large Again” and “Global Presidents” gathered nearly 150 million views, and on Instagram Reels shared akin content.
TikTok did not respond to Forbes' editorial request for comment, while Meta refused to reply.
