In the digital age, the intersection of artificial intelligence, online algorithms, and the pervasive influence of propaganda has become a focal point of concern and study. This chapter delves into the intricate relationship between these elements, exploring how AI technologies, particularly online algorithms such as total likes, are leveraged to amplify the dissemination of propaganda across various digital platforms. Propaganda, with its ability to mold opinions and shape narratives, finds a potent ally in AI-driven algorithms that tailor content to individual preferences, beliefs, and biases. This synergy raises critical questions regarding the ethics, transparency, and societal implications of utilizing AI in the propagation of propaganda. By analyzing the mechanisms through which AI and online algorithms facilitate the spread of propaganda, this chapter aims to shed light on the evolving landscape of information dissemination, the challenges posed by algorithmic manipulation, and the imperative for ethical considerations and regulatory frameworks.
