Meta has intervened to take down about 20 covert influence operations around the world this year, it has emerged \u2013 though the tech firm said fears of AI-fuelled fakery warping elections had not materialised in 2024.<\/p>\n

Nick Clegg, the president of global affairs at the company that runs Facebook, Instagram<\/a> and WhatsApp, said Russia was still the No 1 source of the adversarial online activity but said in a briefing it was \u201cstriking\u201d how little AI was used to try to trick voters in the busiest ever year for elections around the world.<\/p>\n

The former British deputy prime minister revealed that Meta, which has more than 3 billion users, had to take down just over 500,000 requests to generate images on its own AI tools of Donald Trump and Kamala Harris, JD Vance and Joe Biden in the month leading up to US election day.<\/p>\n

But the firm\u2019s security experts had to tackle a new operation using fake accounts to manipulate public debate for a strategic goal at the rate of more than one every three weeks. The \u201ccoordinated inauthentic behaviour\u201d incidents included a Russian network<\/a> using dozens of Facebook accounts and fictitious news websites to target people in Georgia, Armenia and Azerbaijan.<\/p>\n

Another was a Russia-based operation that employed AI to create fake news websites using brands such as Fox News and the Telegraph to try to weaken western support for Ukraine, and used Francophone fake news sites to promote Russia\u2019s role in Africa and to criticise that of France.<\/p>\n

\u201cRussia remains the No 1 source of the covert influence operations we\u2019ve disrupted to date \u2013 with 39 networks disrupted in total since 2017,\u201d he said. The next most frequent sources of foreign interference detected by Meta are Iran and China.<\/p>\n

Giving an evaluation of the effect of AI fakery after a wave of polls in 50 countries including the US, India, Taiwan, France, Germany and the UK, he said: \u201cThere were all sorts of warnings about the potential risks of things like widespread deepfakes and AI enabled disinformation campaigns. That\u2019s not what we\u2019ve seen from what we\u2019ve monitored across our services. It seems these risks did not materialise in a significant way, and that any such impact was modest and limited in scope.\u201d<\/p>\n

But Clegg warned against complacency and said the relatively low-impact of fakery using generative AI to manipulate video, voices and photos was \u201cvery, very likely to change\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cClearly these tools are going to become more and more prevalent and we\u2019re going to see more and more synthetic and hybrid content online,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Meta\u2019s assessment follows conclusions<\/a> last month from the Centre for Emerging Technology and Security that \u201cdeceptive AI-generated content did shape US election discourse by amplifying other forms of disinformation and inflaming political debates\u201d. It said there was a lack of evidence about its impact on Donald Trump\u2019s election win.<\/p>\n

It concluded that AI-enabled threats did begin to damage the health of democratic systems in 2024 and warned \u201ccomplacency must not creep [in]\u201d before the 2025 elections in Australia and Canada.<\/p>\n

Sam Stockwell, research associate at the Alan Turing Institute, said AI tools may have shaped election discourses and amplified harmful narratives in subtle ways, particularly in the recent US election.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis included misleading claims that Kamala Harris\u2019s rally was AI-generated, and baseless rumours that Haitian immigrants were eating pets going viral with the assistance of xenophobic AI-generated memes,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
