Report: AI Misinformation and Threats to Democratic Rights

Share

In this project, we exemplified how the use of Large Language Models can be used in Autocratic Regimes, such as Russia, to potentially spread misinformation regarding current events, in our case, the War on Ukraine. We approached this paper from a legislative perspective, using technical (but easily implementable) demonstrations of how this would work.
