  • description: #AI #ArtificialIntelligence #SoftwareEngineering #TechEthics #TotalRecall #Disinformation #DeepFake #AILaw: We’ve been told to fear Skynet, but the real danger of AI looks more like "Total Recall." In this video, I break down why the "AI Doomer" narrative is a massive distraction from the immediate threat of individualized manipulation. Current Generative AI isn't just scaling misinformation; it's making it impossible to fact-check by isolating users in private, unmonitored chatbot conversations. We explore: Why current regulations (like the EU AI Act) fail to address the real risks. How AI-generated deepfakes have already impacted elections in Slovakia and Chicago. The "trap" of AI-influenced legislation. Verify your sources. Stay skeptical. // Polarization https://today.usc.edu/political-polarization-at-its-worst-since-the-civil-war-2/ https://www.suerf.org/publications/suerf-policy-notes-and-briefs/political-polarization-and-gridlock-in-europe-new-evidence-from-high-frequency-indices/ https://news.harvard.edu/gazette/story/2020/06/study-finds-political-bias-skews-perceptions-of-verifiable-fact/ https://www.frontiersin.org/journals/political-science/articles/10.3389/fpos.2024.1254826/full // AI-driven Fake News https://www.cnn.com/2024/02/01/politics/election-deepfake-threats-invs https://farid.berkeley.edu/deepfakes2024election/ https://www.nature.com/articles/s44271-025-00381-9 // Pre-AI Social Media Fake News https://web.stanford.edu/~gentzkow/research/fakenews.pdf // Chatbots persuasiveness https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.aea3884 https://www.lse.ac.uk/news/latest-news-from-lse/chatbots-can-influence-political-views-new-study-finds // Fact Checking https://doi.org/10.1016/j.teler.2023.100090 // AI Regulations https://www.culawreview.org/current-events-2/when-ai-talks-back-a-new-liability-approach-for-chatbot-induced-mental-health-crises https://ai-analytics.wharton.upenn.edu/wharton-accountable-ai-lab/sb-53-what-californias-new-ai-safety-law-means-for-developers/ // Availability of ChatLogs (or lack thereof) https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2025/12/openai-refuses-to-say-where-chatgpt-logs-go-when-users-die/ // Comparing Voter Swing counts with ChatGPT user counts https://www.cfr.org/article/2024-election-numbers https://backlinko.com/chatgpt-stats // Social Media Affects voting https://www.psu.edu/news/research/story/social-media-influencers-may-affect-more-voter-opinions https://academic.oup.com/pnasnexus/article/4/3/pgaf073/8052909?login=false https://www.princeton.edu/~fujiwara/papers/SocialMediaAndElections.pdf // Chatbot persuasiveness on voters https://news.cornell.edu/stories/2025/12/ai-chatbots-can-effectively-sway-voters-either-direction https://sciencemediacentre.es/en/conversations-ai-chatbots-can-significantly-influence-direction-vote // SciShow & Hank Green distracting you with SuperIntelligence https://youtube.com/watch?v=90C3XVjUMqE 0:00 The Generative AI Problem 0:43 Terminator vs. Total Recall: The Better Analogy 1:18 AI and the Crisis of Political Polarization 2:36 The Rise of AI Political Deepfakes 3:26 The Danger of Individualized Chatbot Conversations 4:22 Why Current AI Regulations Won't Help 5:54 The Future of AI-Influenced Elections 6:40 A World Without Verification
