AI-Generated AI News Site Threatens Facial Recognition Company
An AI-generated news website threatened a facial recognition company to reveal information about its finances.
The facial recognition company, which requested anonymity, supplied the email to IPVM, which was an attempt to gain financial information from the company. The AI-generated news website did not respond to multiple requests for comment over the past 4 days.
This comes amid broader concerns about popular AI tools fueling deception campaigns by making it easier than ever to make up content, people, and even news publications.
In this post, IPVM examines this incident in-depth.
