The whole world is using AI technology, but the United States is experiencing the fastest decline. The lower limit of this generation of American politicians is unfathomable.
In next year’s U.S. election, presidential candidates may face a very “new” opponent: AI technology.
AI technology has greatly reduced the cost for ordinary people to produce "fake news". As long as the AI is "fed" with enough materials, the machine can generate news pictures that meet the needs at will. Many AI-synthesized pictures, such as special Trump’s arrest, the Pentagon explosion, etc. were once popular on major American online platforms. Some politicians in the United States have also begun to use AI to attack their political opponents. For example, the official account of the Republican Party synthesized a series of videos with the theme of "collapse of the financial system" and "increasing crime problems" just after Biden announced that he would continue to run for office in 2024. ” and other themed pictures were also made into videos, which received more than 700,000 views and more than 2,000 likes on social platforms.
The American media lamented that next year’s general election may become a world of fake videos and fake news synthesized by AI, and censorship must be strengthened.
It is true that AI technology itself is a double-edged sword. If used well, it can greatly save time and labor costs, but if used incorrectly, it can easily lead to chaos, as the American media lamented.
However, the United States is the major country in the world that has been attacked by AI technology the fastest, and this "backlash" has directly entered the political field related to the country, which is still a very worthy thing to think about.
AI technology does not set many barriers to use in the world. On the domestic Internet, discussions about AI painting and AI writing are common. AI tools such as ChatGpt and Wen Xinyiyan have been on the hot search list on social platforms several times.
However, in China, when discussing the pros and cons of AI technology, people focus more on some social issues. For example, will some ordinary painters and creators lose their jobs because of AI? Will there be any infringement issues when storing AI pictures?
When it comes to the United States, the problems caused by AI have risen to a higher level. It has become a tool used by American politicians to attack political opponents. Such an approach has resulted in the negative impact of AI not being limited to a certain person or a certain type of profession, but directly "fast forwarding" to the government level.
This proves two things.
First, as the political division within the United States becomes more and more serious, the "lower limit" of American politicians is becoming lower and lower. American politics, in a sense, is the art of trading. In the past, no matter how much the Democratic and Republican parties fought, it was still an "internal conflict." They were willing to jointly manage risks and would stick to some agreed-upon bottom lines and not touch them. But now American politicians are obviously not willing to resort to AI fraud to attack political opponents.
Second, after entering the information age, American electoral politics is gradually exposing its weaknesses. The original intention of the election should be for the candidates to give their own solutions to the problems, so that people can choose a better solution. But now, American-style elections have turned into an “information war” that avoids reality and replaces lies. Due to cost-effectiveness considerations, American politicians are paying less and less attention to policies and practices during the election campaign, and are paying more and more attention to creating news gimmicks and "favoring their faces" on the front pages of the media. In such an atmosphere, it is not surprising that the negative impact of AI technology has spread virally in the American political arena.
Now, the American public opinion field has realized this problem. Because if the current trend continues, the game between American politicians is likely to turn into a farce of each other creating junk news and competing for the lowest limit. Currently, the Biden administration has proposed to start establishing a review system for AI tools. However, the 2024 general election is just around the corner. Under the American system, there may be a huge question mark as to whether the establishment speed of this review system can keep up with the "moral decline" of American politicians.
Now, the only thing we can be sure of is that the American legal industry is likely to usher in a wave of development opportunities due to the rise of AI.
The above is the detailed content of AI has become a gaming tool for politicians. It is difficult to tell whether the U.S. election is true or false. Lawyers have a lot of business.. For more information, please follow other related articles on the PHP Chinese website!
