AI, the ultimate threat to use propaganda of lies and misinformation for the purpose of influencing and dividing humankind is at it's early stages of use. But we do know how lies and misinformation prior to AI has a negative effect on humankind. A good example would be how Trump and the GOP use lies and misinformation to win elections and influence voters and also know that people buy into the lies and misinformation propaganda.
Trump's "make America great again" lie was the big lie along with his personal attacks against everyone and everything. Humankind needs harmony for people to live their own lives without all the distractions in order to progress. We also know Trump used AI already on his social media by publishing a AI generated nasty photograph of former President Obama and his wife for the purpose of division. And we also know that political and religious dogma are the greatest threat to peace and harmony the way it is used today to divide the people.
Once AI becomes part of our every day life, it will be one of the greatest threats to divide and pull humankind farther apart. We know that the business world will use AI to replace human workers and not to create a better product, lower prices or improve humankind relationships. They will replace workers simply to increase profit because they are never satisfied. They hate regulations and the GOP does everything they can do to reduce business regulations. In short, AI will be the great threat in the hands of the business world, the political system and some media outlets because they will use it to divide, mislead and lie to disrupt the harmony which humankind seeks.
As it stands now, Trump, the GOP and the media have won the battle to divide humankind with their lies, misinformation and personal attacks which carried them into office. And now we are beginning to see just how people can be so easy to influence. The division will come to a breaking point in due time when a new generation of humankind stands up and changes the system where money and politics will take a back seat to a new governing that is more in tune with the environment in which we live and the harmony mankind forever seeks.
