The AI Powered Campaign Against Press Freedom A disturbing trend has emerged at the Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC): activist groups using artificial intelligence to flood the public broadcaster with coordinated complaints, often accusing coverage of the Middle East of bias.
Pen Power Australia, a leading group in this effort, employs AI platforms to orchestrate campaigns that can reach thousands of people.
The ABC's ombudsman has reported a sharp rise in coordinated complaint campaigns over the past year, accounting for 61% of all content complaints received by the corporation.
