rom fake images designed to cause fears of an immigrant “invasion” to other demonisation campaigns targeted at leaders such as Emmanuel Macron, far-right parties and activists across westernThis year’s European parliamentary elections were the launchpad for a rollout of AI-generated campaigning by the European far right, experts say, which has continued to proliferate sinceinto anti-immigration content on Facebook.
In virtually every case, far-right parties and movements have eschewed the use of any sort of watermarking or identifier on the AI images, according to experts. Allchorn said more established political parties appeared warier of using AI in official campaigns: “Mainstream actors still have ethical concerns about the effectiveness, authenticity and reliability of these models that far-right or extremist actors are not beholden to.”The German far-right Alternative für Deutschland party and supporters of its anti-immigrant stance have been avid users of AI image generators.
“Only far-right parties consistently used AI-generated visuals to build their websites and represent photo-realistic events that never occurred, making this a distinctive and strategic element of their campaigns,” said Romano of AI Forensics.has no successful far-right party mirroring those in other EU states, the use of generative AI surged among the country’s emergent far-right street movement after riots in Dublin in November 2023.
