Incidente 1481: Según informes, una supuesta red de YouTube generada por IA promovió narrativas a favor de la secesión de Alberta y la anexión a Estados Unidos.
Descripción: Investigadores informaron que una red de 20 canales falsos de YouTube utilizó avatares y locuciones supuestamente generados por IA con miniaturas de estilo deepfake, además de actores de voz pagados, para hacerse pasar por comentaristas de Alberta y promover afirmaciones falsas o engañosas sobre la secesión de Alberta y la anexión estadounidense. Se alega que los canales obtuvieron casi 40 millones de visualizaciones y distorsionaron el debate político, socavando, según se informa, el ecosistema informativo de Canadá.
