We know optimization engines (like social media algorithms) can cause harm by amplifying human speech. And even without algorithmic biases, moderation is expensive. We know disinformation is easy and effective online.

Add in AI tools that can be very convincing, even if they're wrong. AI tools that have been trained on human text to hide biases and build up extremely one sided narratives.

It's not like these things are particularly difficult for human beings to do. And AI might even do it unintentionally, like we've seen with biased models trained on hiring data. But the AI tools are definitely going to do it _faster_.
