The israelhamas war, the in the israelhamas war, the viral spread of misinformation on social media has added to the conflict. Ktvu is Jana Katsuyama spoke with experts about the digital war over facts and the ways to prevent fake posts as the israelhamas war is being waged on the ground and in the air. Another battle is raging online and on social media. In the war to win over hearts and minds, the spread of misinformation and disinformation has exploded. There are a lot of fake images generated by ai. There are a lot of fake audios, fake videos, fake tweets, things coming from peoples video games, posting video games, screenshots. Hany farid is a uc berkeley professor of Computer Science who researches fake content. This is categorically different than what we saw in terms of mis and disinformation and generative ai two years ago, and that shows you how fast the technology is developing. Since october 7th, when hamas attacked israel. Graphic and emotionally charged images and assertions have gone viral on social media news Fact Checkers have been working to research and debunk fake posts. But experts say the speed of sharing, retweeting and repost, posting content makes correcting fake content extremely difficult. And i think this is really the most nefarious part problem we are facing in the age of generative ai is people suddenly dont know what to trust. One of those posts, such as early claims that hamas beheaded 40 babies, has been found by news Fact Checkers to be a misrepresentation of one journalists statements and so fareed says when israel later did post two photos of babies killed in the attack, the conversation was not about what was in the image. The conversation was about the dispute of whether its real or fake. Even if 1 of the images, the audio and the video and the tweets are fake, it poisons everything. Other examples have included a fake white house memo claiming aid to israel, an old video that was altered with a false claim that north koreans president blamed President Biden for the war and video of purported explosions that actually came from video games. Its something that social Media Companies should be making a number one priority. Corynne mcsherry, legal director of the Electronic Frontier foundation, says to effectively monitor content social Media Companies need to hire more people with the Language Skills and cultural knowledge to make informed decisions. They want engagement it, as they say, and inflammatory rhetoric gets engagement out. So the other problem is that there are Business Models that are built on kind of dangerous speech. Fareed says new technology could be implement covid with devices that can authentic date the date and location of images and audio. The technology is there, but it hasnt been fully deployed, and it has to be deployed in two ways. One is we need the boots on the ground using this technology. That means it has to be in the devices. But then we also need the social Media Companies to respect those cryptographic signatures so we know what we can trust. Mcsherry says users are one of the most important factors in stopping the flow of misinformation. Even before you share something, whats the source . How much do you know of the source of this information . Has it been vetted by anybody first Jana Katsuyama ktvu fox two news for 18 now and with cooler temperatures setting in the bay area, Kaiser Permanente distribute 100 distributed hundreds of warm coats to students in oakland.
