Victims of the use of artificial intelligence (AI) to create false information fell o President and Vice-President of the Democrats party Andreas Loverdos and Theodoros Papatheodorou respectively. With a video that showed them advertising a supposed game of chance, clever people with an artificial intelligence vehicle tried to mislead citizens on the online platform Facebook.

Here is a statement from the Democrats:

The use of artificial intelligence (AI) to create false information and artificial intelligence and to mislead the public is a serious threat to our democracy. While these technologies have many positive applications, they can also be used maliciously to undermine the credibility of political figures and spread fake news.

We call on all relevant bodies to strengthen protection measures against cyber-attacks and implement strict regulations to combat the spread of fake news. We also urge citizens to be informed by reliable sources and not to unwittingly contribute to the spread of misinformation.

Transparency, truth and justice are the foundations of our democracy. Therefore, we pledge to continue working tirelessly to protect these principles, ensuring that the voice of truth will always prevail over lies and misinformation.
