The president blamed AI and embraced doing so. Is it becoming the new ‘fake news’? | AI News Digest
President Donald Trump has recently adopted a strategy of blaming artificial intelligence (AI) for various issues, likening it to the concept of 'fake news.' This trend reflects a growing phenomenon where politicians evade accountability by attributing embarrassing situations to AI-generated content. Experts warn that this practice can undermine public trust in genuine information, as it fosters skepticism about the authenticity of real evidence. The term 'liar's dividend' has been coined to describe the advantage gained by those in power when the public doubts the veracity of information. Polls indicate that many Americans are increasingly concerned about the implications of AI in politics and media, highlighting a significant shift in public perception regarding technology's role in shaping truth.
