California (Web Desk): Advanced Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools have become a new weapon for extremist organizations. Experts indicate that these groups are using AI to recreate the voices and speeches of their leaders, expanding their reach and influence.
According to The Guardian, a British newspaper, Lucas Weber, a senior analyst at the online terrorism monitoring organization Tech Against Terrorism, stated that extremist groups are using AI-powered translation and voice technology to deliver their messages in different languages, with emotional intensity and ideological fervor.
Analysis reveals that neo-Nazi extremist groups are utilizing AI voice cloning software to create modern English versions of Adolf Hitler's speeches, which have been listened to millions of times on platforms like Instagram, TikTok, and X (formerly Twitter).
A report from the Global Network on Extremism and Technology reveals that voice cloning services, such as ‘Eleven Labs’ software, are aiding extremists in spreading their violent messages in innovative ways. For instance, James Mason’s book "Siege" was converted into an audiobook with the help of AI to more effectively spread its ideas to young followers.
Weber further added that other media networks are also using AI to convert official or ideological content into text-to-speech, amplifying the power of propaganda and transforming written content into a more robust multimedia form.
