Detecting Bot-Generated Fake News in Media

[Caute_cautim]

Hi All

Fake news has been considered a tangible threat since at least 2016, when the US presidential electrons were affected by take tweets, news articles, and blog posts coming from both inside and outside the country.

Now, false information on social media is known to cause grave consequences that can result in public unrest, like the sparks of politically-motivated violence in Gabon or Myanmar, or disinformation that resulted in the "Indian Kidnappers" case.

With the introduction of Generative Pre-trained Transformer models (GPT), producing such content has become especially accessible.  These GPT models allow anyone to create fake news with a credible and authoritative tone, and even in a journalistic style, on a massive scale.  According to Statistica, in many countries, social media play the role of the primary news outlets, which only exacerbates the problem.

Thanks that's a great article. I skimmed it and left the tab up to read it later. Countering AI might become a big part of security sooner rather than later. AI could play a part in most any exploit.
