The European parliamentary elections have begun, accompanied by concerns of AI exacerbating the spread of fake news and disrupting the democratic process. Experts warn that the use of AI tools to create deceptive or false content has increased, making it easier to deceive voters across EU member states. Instances of misinformation related to elections have been cropping up, with examples like fake websites spreading false threats before national elections in Spain and Poland, highlighting the escalating challenge in combating disinformation ahead of elections. The EU is taking action through new regulations like the Digital Services Act to hold platforms accountable for misinformation dissemination amidst the rise of AI-generated content.
