The rise of AI technology has led to the alarming spread of extremist propaganda, particularly through TikTok, where AI-generated speeches attributed to Adolf Hitler are gaining traction. Utilizing advanced language models, these extremist groups are able to translate video scripts, and with the help of voice-cloning technologies, such as ElevenLabs, they produce narrated clips that are then shared across various social media channels.
Recent findings from the Institute for Strategic Dialogue (ISD) reveal that English-language "Hitler speeches" created by AI have garnered over 50 million views in 2024 alone. In a similar vein, jihadist organizations are leveraging AI to translate their propaganda from Arabic into several languages. Notably, the Islamic State (ISIS) has begun producing news-like videos featuring a synthetic AI host that delivers official messages.
To evade detection by moderation systems, these creators strategically avoid using banned imagery and explicit slogans, making it increasingly challenging for platforms to regulate the content effectively.
Social media platforms are finding it difficult to keep pace with this growing issue. Despite employing approximately 40,000 moderators, neither automated AI systems nor human oversight can adequately address the scale of the problem. According to disinformation expert Markus Bösch from the University of Hamburg, completely resolving the issue may be unattainable. Even with expanded moderation teams, the rapid adaptability of propagandists allows them to generate new content faster than platforms can identify and eliminate it.
