Unlabeled AI-generated media floods election campaigns as platforms fail to enforce rules
|
|
|
Ahead of the 13th National Parliamentary Election scheduled for February 12, 2026, synthetic media has emerged as a tool for political campaigning, often circulating without mandatory disclaimer. Between January 1 and January 15, Dismislab documented more than 800 AI-generated videos across Facebook, YouTube, and TikTok. Data indicates a systemic gap in the enforcement of platform transparency policies regarding AI-generated content.

2025 in review: The rise of AI, familiar faces in disinformation headlines, and unfamiliar actors behind the scene
|
|
By the numbers alone, 2025 can be described as a year of misinformation, with fact-checkers identifying
30 percent more false information in Bangladesh than in the previous year. It was also a year of
evolution in the nature of how disinformation is spread. Two out of every three fact-checks involved
political content last year, half of which were spread through videos and one in every ten using AI.
