🤖 40% Success Rate: How Extremists Are Using Your Favorite AI Tools Right Now | |
|
A new ADL study reveals that major AI video generators (including tools from Google, OpenAI, and Hedra) produced antisemitic and extremist content at least 40% of the time
when tested with hateful prompts, despite existing safeguards meant to prevent such outputs. The platforms generated disturbing videos depicting antisemitic conspiracy theories like "weather control" machines operated by Jewish individuals, references to violent extremist networks, and even cartoon-style content promoting groups known for exploiting minors. While OpenAI's newest Sora 2 model showed the best content moderation by refusing 60% of problematic prompts, the original Sora 1 refused none, raising serious concerns about how these increasingly sophisticated and user-friendly tools could be weaponized to spread hate and recruit young people to extremist ideologies. But
what specific steps can tech companies realistically take to stay ahead of bad actors who constantly evolve their tactics to bypass content filters? Read more here. | |
