Iran deploys robot army
An Israeli and American report exposes Iran and China's efforts to use artificial intelligence technologies to create "armies of robots" on social media networks with the aim of conducting extensive influence campaigns. These AI systems generate fake accounts, produce content, interact with users, and spark debates on platforms such as X (formerly Twitter), Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok, with limited human intervention. The reports point to the use of open-source, configurable models hosted on private servers, making it difficult for companies to prevent their misuse. Additionally, some countries have built networks of fake accounts to steer discussions, particularly around elections. Cases have been documented where Iran and China have carried out influence operations, raising genuine concerns in Washington about exploiting technology to threaten American public opinion and interfere with political processes.
