Eef it’s a scary premise that each country has an AI mouthpiece trained on exactly what that country wants its citizens to be told. Under most regimes this is a bad idea
I don't think every country will build it's own AI mouthpiece for propaganda, at least the very democratic EU ones.
But I do think there will be a huge market for off-shore mouthpieces for hire for targeted political propaganda, a-la Cambridge Analitica, that will be in a legal gray area, outside the regulatory jurisdiction of the EU but sill be available for hire under the table and deployed when needed by intelligence agencies, while authorities look the other way and pretend they have no clue while deleting their emails a-la Ursula v.d. Leyen. Basically AI versions of the NSO group, and I bet my hat shady companies in US, Israel, China are already working hard on that.
That's the scary future I'm terrified of. I think mass disinformation and manipulation at scale is more dangerous than everything else.
