Civic platform has prepared a place for votes to be cast, including Law and Justice politicians, was generated by artificial intelligence (SI) based on emails supposedly coming from the mailbox of one of the ministers.
Spot PO and eastern special services
At the beginning of the spot, the voice-over says: ‘They call themselves United Right, but you probably know what it really is. What does the prime minister think? Listen for yourself.” Then there are short excerpts on the spot from Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki’s speech in the Sejm. Then we hear an artificial intelligence-generated voice-over that closely resembles the head of government’s voice. In these excerpts alleged excerpts are read of emails stolen from government mailboxes.
Journalists warned that some of the public might see the prime minister’s artificially generated vote as real. A few hours after the commercial was published, the message added: “Lector generated by AI”.
“It’s even more disturbing.”
Wojciech Mucha, presenter of the program “Demaskatorzy” on TVP Info, draws attention to the danger of the recipient thinking that such words were actually spoken by the prime minister.
Artificially generated votes of politicians were used for political struggle. For some recipients they will be indistinguishable from the real thing. It’s all the more appalling that these materials don’t even indicate that these voices were generated using artificial intelligence. One who is not aware of this might think that such words have been spoken
– said Wojciech Mucha.
The journalist added that we are aware of the whole email scandal “it was initiated by the eastern special services”.
Shed happy
The problem with the use of artificial intelligence on site and the simultaneous lack of information on its use was not seen by Borys Budka, who appeared in the program “Gość events” in Polsat NEWS.
A very good idea, artificial intelligence is more real than Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki
– said Budka when asked about the use of an AI-generated voice in the PO spot, which resembles the head of government’s voice.
Budka was asked who came up with the idea of using Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki’s AI-generated voice in the PO spot.
A very good idea, but frankly artificial intelligence is more real than Prime Minister Morawiecki
replied the politician.
When asked why the information that it contains an artificial intelligence generated voice was not placed at the beginning of the spot, he emphasized:
Because it is not necessary, because we show emails.
When asked if it wouldn’t mislead people, because someone might think Prime Minister Morawiecki says so himself, Budka replied:
Prime Minister Morawiecki misleads people every day (…). Because such a vote was generated, Dworczyk’s emails are read by this vote.
To the fact that after one of the journalists posted the information that the voice was generated by AI, Budka replied: “Well, let’s be clear.”
