The Weaponization of AI Bots and Biological Warfare
AI bots are being used to manipulate social media by swarming it with messages to sow division and undermine trust in the democratic process. This strategy aims to create disunity among people. The speaker compared this tactic to the impact of atom bombs, highlighting the devastation caused by such weapons. However, biological warfare is considered more desirable as it allows for the contamination of an area and then subsequent plundering. Moreover, the use of AI to influence and manipulate the beliefs and opinions of a population is a powerful weapon. The CIA is known to use tactics to cause disturbances in other countries to lead to their collapse. The speaker suggests that bad data from AI bots may be contaminating societies, akin to irradiation, and raising suspicions about social media users with flag-related usernames.
