AI-generated content played a much smaller role in global election misinformation than what many officials and researchers had feared, according to a new analysis from Meta . Inon its efforts to safeguard dozens of elections in 2024, the company said that AI content made up only a fraction of election-related misinformation that was caught and labeled by its fact checkers.
The update comes after numerous government officials and researchers for months raised the alarm about the role generative AI could play in supercharging election misinformation in a year when more than 2 billion people were expected to go to the polls. But those fears largely did not play out — at least on Meta’s platforms — according to the company’s President of Global Affairs, Nick Clegg.
