בארה"ב מאשימים תעמולה פרו איראנית מופצת בעזרת AI, רשתות חברתיות וגם דרך כלי תקשורת אמריקניים מסוימים

U.S. officials have been busy countering AI-generated fake war footage circulating online along with false war reports from the Iranian regime. NTD correspondent Jason Blair has more. The U.S. military's Central Command Exit Count has put out several posts countering war claims by the Iranian regime that they are calling fake and baseless. One U.S. clarification says rumors are circulating on social media of a U.S. fighter jet shot down over Basra. These are baseless and not true. Another post counters a false claim that says U.S. troops are withdrawing and another that says Iran sank a U.S. destroyer. And fake AI-generated war footage has also been widely circulating on social media. Cybersecurity expert Dr. Jordan Powell told The Hill, in current geopolitical context, AI has allowed propaganda at scale and Social media platform X has been adding labels to misleading war videos as well as temporarily demonetizing accounts that post them, with permanent demonetization for repeat offenders. Head of product for X, Nikita Beers, says during times of war, it is critical that people have access to authentic information on the ground. With today's AI technologies, it is trivial to create content that can mislead people. And government officials have been criticizing certain media outlets for how they have reported on the U.S.-Israel war with Iran. The assistant secretary of state for global public affairs posted a video with a reporter claiming to be in Iran and saying that the people seem calm and all the stores are open and well stocked. He said CNN appears to now be doing straight up pro-Iran regime propaganda. White House press secretary Caroline Levitt said on Wednesday that some media outlets are leaving out Operation Epic Fury's successes and just reporting negative news. Is it the position of this administration that the press should not prominently cover the deaths of U.S. service members? No, it's the position of this administration that the press in this room and the press across the country should accurately report on the success of Operation Epic Fury and the damage it is doing to the rogue Iranian regime that has threatened the lives of every single American in this room.
