In response, Tech Against Terrorism is partnering with Microsoft to develop a generative AI detection system to counter the threat. The partnership aims to help smaller platforms that lack their own AI research centers. The threat of AI-generated content extends beyond extremist groups, with a recent report from the Internet Watch Foundation highlighting the growing presence of AI-created child exploitation content on the dark web.
Key takeaways:
- Extremist groups have begun using generative AI to create propaganda, with around 5,000 examples of AI-generated content being picked up each week by Tech Against Terrorism.
- These AI tools pose a threat to the hashing databases used by Big Tech platforms to automatically remove known violent extremist content from the internet.
- Tech Against Terrorism is partnering with Microsoft to create a generative AI detection system to counter the emerging threat of AI being used for terrorist content.
- Last month, the Internet Watch Foundation reported a growing presence of child sexual abuse material created by AI tools on the dark web, with over 20,000 AI-generated images found on one forum in just one month.
