Upcoming elections in over 50 countries, including the US and Poland, will encourage creators of harmful content to increase their activities using artificial intelligence. The most deepfakes are likely to be created in the summer of this year. Analysts have investigated which places in the digital world are incubators for “bad actors” and have created a map of them. Small platforms are the main source of the creation and distribution of harmful content.
This year’s elections around the world are under fire from disinformation and deepfakes. Researchers from the USA have prepared a map of the sources of harmful content

Upcoming elections in more than 50 countries, including the U.S. and Poland, will encourage harmful content creators to step up their efforts to use artificial intelligence. The largest number of deepfakes is likely to be created this summer. Analysts have looked at which places in the digital world are incubators for the activities of “bad actors” and have mapped them. Small platforms are the main source of harmful content production and dissemination. In this context, the EU’s Digital Services Act can be seen as misguided, as such small platforms will be practically beyond the control of the regulations. Scientists suggest taking actions in the fight against this phenomenon based on realistic scenarios, and eliminating it completely is not one of them. Therefore, it is better to limit the effects of disinformation.
