Generative AI Is Playing a Surprising Role in Israel-Hamas Disinformation

The ongoing conflict between Israel and Hamas has resulted in a surge of disinformation, but the impact of AI-generated content remains relatively peripheral. AI-generated disinformation is primarily used to solicit support or create the perception of support for a particular side. However, the sheer amount of misinformation already circulating makes it challenging for AI images to significantly shape the conversation. While generative AI has the potential to produce highly realistic content, it is not the sole driving force behind the spread of false information. Concerns about the effects of AI-generated content may be overblown, as those seeking misinformation already have access to an abundance of familiar sources. Rather than solely focusing on the flashy technology, it is important to study how AI fits into the existing disinformation ecosystem.
