SUMMARY:AI and Online Disinformation
LOCATION:Conway Hall
DESCRIPTION:Our social media feeds have been increasingly cannibalised by s
 lop: low-quality content generated using AI text\, image and video tools. 
 Slop takes many forms\, but in the UK it often promotes far-right narrativ
 es about immigration and Islam\, becoming what some have dubbed "slopagand
 a".\n\nAlthough slopaganda is overtly political in its content\, its motiv
 ations are usually commercial. Many social media accounts presenting thems
 elves as British patriots are\, in fact\, operated from South Asia\, where
  a booming cottage industry has emerged around the mass production of AI s
 lop.\n\nIn this *Ethical Matters* talk\, reporter **Niamh McIntyre** takes
  us inside the AI slop factory\, and explores what it means when a signifi
 cant proportion of online political debate is manufactured for profit by p
 eople with zero commitment to the ideas they are promoting.\n\n**Niamh McI
 ntyre** is a senior tech reporter at the Bureau of Investigative Journalis
 m\, where she covers AI\, labour and surveillance technologies. For the pa
 st eight months\, she has been investigating the business model behind rac
 ist AI slop.\n\nBoletos: https://dice.fm/event/bb965g-ai-and-online-disinf
