Chavismo uses AI to fool the public into thinking Venezuela's economy is thriving

Avatars Noah and Daren deliver the figures on regime TV, but the truth is different: you need $15 per day to buy food, yet the minimum salary is only $6.5 per month.

Artificially intelligent avatars Noah and Daren spread fake news in support of the Venezuelan government. More than just coordinated Twitter campaigns, social media banning, and mainstream media censorship, chavismo has now gone to the next step in its strategy of cleansing the collective brain. Artificial intelligence (AI) is being used for the first time to propagate false information, such as the claim that Venezuela has a thriving economy.
