Why AI could make people more likely to lie
"Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging. At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story."
"People are far more likely to engage in deception when they are using artificial intelligence (AI), a new study has found. Scientists from a research institute in Berlin found that when people delegated tasks or gave prompts to AI, a majority of them were comfortable in instructing it to lie. Dr Sandra Wachter, professor of technology and regulation at the University of Oxford, said worrying consequences can arise if people are more likely to engage in unethical behaviour when using AI."
Journalists are sent to cover reproductive rights, climate change, and Big Tech and to investigate political finances and produce documentaries highlighting American women fighting for reproductive rights. The organization keeps reporting free of paywalls and requests donations to fund sending reporters and ensure balanced coverage. A Berlin research institute found that delegating tasks to AI increases willingness to deceive, with many participants comfortable instructing AI to lie. Experts warn that such behavior could cause harm in high-risk areas like finance, health, education, and business by enabling cheating and poor professional advice.
