Artificial intelligence (AI) is having an increasing impact on our society. And that also has negative aspects. AI-generated and sometimes deceptively real-looking forgeries of photos and videos, for example, ensure that so-called fake news gets into circulation and thus has a say in public debates.
Through the mass sharing of posts, bots in social networks ensure that certain posts and opinions achieve an artificially generated high reach. They can hardly be distinguished from regular user profiles. Both examples show how AI can endanger our democracy and political participation.
But AI also has great potential. What advantages can AI have for citizens? What tricks can be used to unmask AI-generated fakes? How can legal requirements contain risks from AI?
