We often talk about the risks of AI personas usurping real humans in the media. But the reverse is also true and doesn’t get enough attention. In Venezuela, AI-generated TV anchors are being used by journalists to remain anonymous (and thus, safe from arbitrary arrests) while delivering news that are critical of the government. AI can be a powerful force for good for anons around the world https://edition.cnn.com/2024/09/18/americas/venezuela-retweets-ai-news-maduro-intl-latam/index.html

In this case, why is the anchor even needed at all? Or do the AI generated vids lend some sense of legitimacy of the news?

Good food for thought! 👏 We’re always focusing on the negative and we overlook the positive things that can happen

TBH I'm extremely sceptical of AI personas supposedly from a country with limited access to these sorts of models at such an early stage (Venezuela doesn't have the best internet infra) More likely: three-letter-agency who has a very long history of creating chaos in Latin American countries

This is really interesting. Probably the information field is the trickiest one nowadays.

That is an angle that AI is delivering net benefits to democratise critical information sharing. The more protection for good journalists the better.

Well then you also have to imagine if it then begins to be exploited to spread around false information or defamation. It's not soo beneficial then
