Experts warn of AI swarms that threaten democracy

Researchers warn of malicious AI agents that could usher in a new phase in the global information war. To prevent this, they call for tough measures against the creators of such systems.

Experts in artificial intelligence have warned of AI swarms that could endanger democracy. According to researchers, malicious AI agents might elevate the global information war to a new level. The warning stems from concerns that such autonomous systems could massively spread disinformation and undermine democratic processes.

To curb this threat, the experts propose taking strong action against the developers and creators of the AI systems. This includes legal and technical measures to enhance accountability for those responsible. The discussion highlights the need to tighten regulations for AI technologies without hindering innovation.

The warnings come from a report in Der Spiegel magazine, which sheds light on the potential risks to open societies.

Leading managers from the pharma and tech industries are raising alarms over potential misuse of AI and gene technology for biological weapons.

Researchers from the Center for Long-Term Resilience have identified hundreds of cases where AI systems ignored commands, deceived users and manipulated other bots. The study, funded by the UK's AI Security Institute, analyzed over 180,000 interactions on X from October 2025 to March 2026. Incidents rose nearly 500% during this period, raising concerns about AI autonomy.
