South Korea hosted summit warns of AI risks to democracy

South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol has labeled fake news and disinformation, fueled by AI and digital technology, as threats to democracy. At the Summit for Democracy in Seoul, Yoon emphasized the need for countries to share experiences and use technology to promote democracy, while also sounding the alarm on the violation of individual freedom and human rights. The conference aims to address democratic backsliding and erosion of rights. China criticized South Korea for inviting Taiwan's Digital Minister to contribute, as China considers Taiwan its own territory. Digital threats to democracy and countering disinformation were the focus of discussions, with US Secretary of State Antony Blinken highlighting the risks and Russia and China's involvement in manipulation campaigns.
