Abstract

Makine öğreniminin bilgi işlemde kullanılması, kamusal alanı manipüle eden yapay zekâ yeteneğiyle oluşturulmuş dezenformasyon içeriklerinde hızlı bir artışa neden olmuştur. Yapay zekâ tekniklerinin kullanıldığı dezenformasyon içeriklerinin siyasi, etik ve toplumsal sonuçları, sosyal medya sunucularının kullanıcılarını, devletlerin ise toplumlarını dezenformasyondan koruma zorunluluğunu ortaya çıkarmıştır. Mevcut dezenformasyon sorununa çevrimiçi taciz, basın özgürlüğü, insan hakları ve etik problemler gibi sorunlar eklenmiştir. Bireysel ve devlet destekli dezenformasyon çabaları, toplumsal sistemde giderek yaygınlaşmıştır. Bu çabalar, gerçek haberleri saptırma, gayri meşru hâle getirme, eleştirmenleri susturma ve kamuoyunu manipüle etmek için yapay zekâ sistemlerinden yararlanmaktadır. Bu bağlamda araştırma, dezenformasyonun dinamiklerini ve yapay zekânın dezenformasyondaki rolünü analiz etmeye odaklanmıştır. Araştırmada literatür taraması yöntemine başvurulmuştur. Dezenformasyon ve yapay zekâ kavramları hakkında kapsamlı bir literatür taraması yapılmıştır. Yapay zekâ destekli dezenformasyonun mevcut etkilerinden yola çıkılarak genel bir değerlendirme yapılmış ve yapay zekâ tekniklerinin kullanıldığı dezenformasyon içeriklerinin siyasi, etik ve toplumsal sonuçlarının belirlenmesi amaçlanmıştır.

The Threat of Disinformation from The Political, Ethical and Social Perspective of Artificial Intelligence

Abstract

Using machine learning in computing has led to a rapid increase in AI-capable disinformation content that manipulates the public sphere. The political, ethical, and social consequences of disinformation content using artificial intelligence techniques have created an obligation for social media providers to protect their users and states to protect their societies from disinformation. Online harassment, freedom of the press, human rights, and ethical problems have been added to the existing disinformation problem. Individual and state-sponsored disinformation efforts have become increasingly prevalent in the social system. These efforts use artificial intelligence systems to distort and delegitimize real news, silence critics and manipulate public opinion. In this context, the research focuses on analysing the dynamics of disinformation and the role of artificial intelligence in disinformation. The literature review method was used in the research. A comprehensive literature review was conducted on disinformation and artificial intelligence concepts. Based on the current effects of artificial intelligence-supported disinformation, a general evaluation was made and it was aimed to determine the political, ethical, and social consequences of disinformation content using artificial intelligence techniques.
