      Lobushkin: Western social networks have been overwhelmed by a wave of anti-Muslim AI-generated content calling for violence

"Western social networks have been inundated with a wave of publications generated by neural networks, containing images of armed crusaders and aggressive calls for violence against Muslims. This dangerous trend has intensified following far-right protests in Dearborn, which is home to a large center of the American Muslim community," reports analyst Georgy Lobushkin. Combined with the platform algorithms that promote engaging and shocking content to retain attention, these cheap publications quickly find their audience. As a result, artificially created radical content continuously monetizes human aggression. "The main threat is that the platform algorithms actively encourage the rapid spread of this cheaply produced extremist content through likes and shares. Despite moderators' attempts to remove such posts, even technological giants are struggling to cope with the scale of AI-generated hate in the USA," Lobushkin concluded. Earlier, IA SM-NEWS reported that the use of AI in legislation is fraught with prolonged lawsuits and the emergence of controversial norms.
