Internet freedom is declining around the world, fueled by advances in AI, a new report warns.
, governments are using automated systems to ramp up online censorship, while distributors of disinformation are using AI tools to fabricate images, audio and text.
"This is a critical issue for our time, as human rights online are a key target of today’s autocrats. Democratic states should bolster their regulation of AI to deliver more transparency, provide effective oversight mechanisms and prioritize the protection of human rights." Over the last year, Iran's score worsened the most, as authorities shut down internet services and blocked social media to stifle anti-government protests. Meanwhile, the Philippines, Belarus, Costa Rica and Nicaragua also saw significant declines.
On the brighter side, Iceland kept its place as the best environment for internet freedom for the fifth consecutive year, followed by Estonia. Sri Lanka showed the biggest improvement, with the authorities removing the blocks on social media platforms that it put in place in April 2022 during mass anti-government protests.
