“As LLM grooming and other novel threats challenge the internet at a fundamental level, it will take a society-wide effort to anticipate and combat them.” Anti-democratic actors are already targeting AI models to spread disinformation. Our report reveals how networks like Pravda are flooding large language models (LLMs) with harmful content. Without proper safeguards, we risk AI-generated misinformation becoming the dominant force online—an endless cycle of disinformation. AI developers, researchers, and policymakers must take proactive steps to ensure that harmful content doesn't pollute future models, or we risk a fundamentally altered, disinformation-filled internet. https://lnkd.in/eyr3AXsZ
