Summary

The News Literacy Project maintains an ongoing tracker documenting real-world instances of AI being used to generate or amplify disinformation and influence operations. It serves as a practical reference resource cataloging how AI tools are being weaponized for information warfare. The tracker helps educators and researchers understand the evolving landscape of AI-enabled deception.

Key Points

  • Tracks documented cases of AI-generated content used in disinformation campaigns and influence operations
  • Provides educators and researchers with concrete examples of AI misuse in the information ecosystem
  • Covers synthetic media, deepfakes, AI-written propaganda, and automated amplification tactics
  • Serves as an ongoing resource updated as new AI disinformation incidents emerge
  • Contextualizes AI safety risks in terms of near-term societal harms rather than speculative future scenarios
