WASHINGTON, D.C.: Tests on a leading AI tool allowed the creation of deceptive and incriminating images of President Joe Biden and Donald Trump, a watchdog said Wednesday, despite pledges to block fake photos of the presidential contenders ahead of elections in November.
Disinformation researchers fear rampant misuse of AI-powered applications in a year of major elections around the world, thanks to proliferating online tools that are cheap and easy to use and lack sufficient guardrails.The non-profit Center for Countering Digital Hate said it tested two programs that can generate images based on text prompts –- Midjourney and ChatGPT, from Microsoft-backed OpenAI.
'Easy to manipulate' 'Midjourney is far too easy to manipulate in practice –- in some cases it's completely evaded just by adding punctuation,' said Imran Ahmed, chief executive and founder of CCDH.CCDH's researchers also managed to create deceptive images by entering the physical description of the candidates instead of their names.
