Summary
Overseas 'content farms' are using AI to create fake social media posts about UK politics, according to an expert warning from Prof Martin Innes of Cardiff University. A BBC Wales investigation found several Vietnam-based Facebook pages spreading fake news and AI-generated images of politicians, and Meta removed some of them. The Electoral Commission is developing software to spot deepfakes ahead of the Welsh and Scottish parliament elections in May.
