It is no secret that powerful countries often utilize under the table tactics in order boost their geopolitical interests. Now with the advancement in AI technology, it seems that few nations may take advantage of it in order to influence the elections to be held in other countries this year. Allow me to explain.

In the latest news published by Microsoft Threat Analysis Center, it is observed that China can use Artificial Intelligence in order to ramp up content that may influence the presidential elections.

The country-wide elections will be held this year in India, North Korea and even United States. The reports clearly mention that China will deploy its AI tools in order to influence perspective of people so that the party coming to the power will be the one with whom they share friendly relations.

How the use of AI can Influence India Elections?

In a country where people often gulp down information without cross-verifying it, the fake content can influence the people’s perspective negatively. The country is heavily divided between the leftists and rightists.

We are already seeing narratives that the ruling party is using central agencies to arrest opposition leaders in order to hamper their election preparations.

Fake Anchors, Fake AI video and Fake AI Audio are some of the common methods that were used during Taiwanese elections in late 2023 and the latest reports suggests that China could use such tools to influence people’s perspective where elections are going to be held this year.
