Lakmusz

Lakmusz is a fact-checking portal in Hungary. It is currently newsworthy due to its role in analyzing and exposing the increasing use of AI-generated propaganda during the Hungarian election campaign. Specifically, Lakmusz is investigating the proliferation of AI-generated images, videos, and audio recordings, including deepfakes, that are being used to manipulate public opinion. Szilárd Teczár from Lakmusz has been providing expert commentary on how these manipulated contents resonate with the public and how they intertwine with the existing propaganda narratives associated with Viktor Orbán's government. The organization's work is significant because it highlights the growing threat of AI-driven disinformation in political processes and its potential impact on democratic elections.
