AI is just one of the means to lie to citizens, but way before AI existed, when power and money concentrates in a few hands, democracy and representation is at risk.
Redistribute wealth, and corruption and manipulation will shrink at the same pace that inequality. It happened before, it will happen again.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
That’s a criticism of direct democracy, not republics; it’s been a known failure mode (and base case) for millennia. The novel elements are social media and AI. I am increasingly convinced that ad-funded social media should be banned and/or tightly regulated like utilities are.
Ah yes, let’s the replace all ad-funded social media with state/gvn’t funded social media. That will be much better.
Is it possible to develop a camera that takes pictures in a special format that records an encrypted signature, some kind ledger technology for images? The idea is authenticity of images could be challenged. If in doubt, the original photographer or source can provide verification - automated or otherwise, that only superficial X, Y, or Z edits have been made such as lighting or contrast changes. Copies of the images…
Basically since only negative lies work on general population, and positive lies are impossible, then negative lies will be generated about everyone above the currently shittiest level of politicians in a race. And neural nets are an x100 power and speed amplifier for this.

What's keeping anyone from using a trustworthy camera to take a trustworthy picture of a screen displaying an AI generated image? And that's the low tech version. Taking a trustworthy camera and plugging the CMOS sensor connector into an LLM that generates its output as RAW data that feeds into the sensor isn't that hard if you want to make extra sure you're not detected. Such a system might even cause more harm than…

This is, as others have pointed out, trivial to defeat. We should not be seeking engineering solutions to social problems.

I think it's in the works. Hard to say if it will make any impact globally: https://asia.nikkei.com/Business/Technology/Nikon-Sony-and-C...
