Description: AI-generated English-language Adolf Hitler speeches have been proliferating on TikTok. They are reportedly accumulating millions of views despite violating the platform’s hate speech policies. The clips are described as often pairing the audio with misleading translations and memes that glorify Hitler and distort historical facts. While some content has been removed, many accounts reportedly continue to post similar videos.
Editor Notes: Reconstructing the timeline of events: On April 7, 2024, Media Matters identified at least one AI-generated English-language speech being attributed to Hitler circulating on TikTok. By early September 2024, the number of videos featuring these speeches began to proliferate, with many gaining significant traction, receiving hundreds of thousands to millions of views. On September 1, 2024, one particularly prominent video featuring an AI-generated Hitler speech garnered over a million views before it was removed. On September 17, 2024, Media Matters published a report documenting the widespread presence of these AI-generated Hitler speeches on the platform. The following day, September 18, 2024, TikTok removed at least one account posting this content, although similar videos are reportedly continuing to circulate.

Variantes
Una "Variante" es un incidente que comparte los mismos factores causales, produce daños similares e involucra los mismos sistemas inteligentes que un incidente de IA conocido. En lugar de indexar las variantes como incidentes completamente separados, enumeramos las variaciones de los incidentes bajo el primer incidente similar enviado a la base de datos. A diferencia de otros tipos de envío a la base de datos de incidentes, no se requiere que las variantes tengan informes como evidencia externa a la base de datos de incidentes.
