- AfD uses new AI software called Alternita, powered by Google Gemini, OpenAI ChatGPT, and Anthropic Claude, to generate provocative social media posts.
- Alternita helps quickly create content based on far-right news sources, producing messages supporting policies like forced deportations and anti-immigrant rhetoric.
- An undercover investigation revealed the software can turn articles into posts without always labeling AI-generated content, and it's being tested by AfD figures including a fictional account.
- The software aims to centralize messaging control while leveraging decentralized activists, with plans for full implementation next year as AfD gains popularity in polls.
- AI companies are reviewing AfD's use of their engines for political propaganda, amid concerns over terms of use violations.
