Google's Veo 3 AI video generator has been used to create racist and antisemitic videos on TikTok, sparking concerns over misuse of AI technology for harmful purposes.
The videos generated by Veo 3 depict racist tropes targeting Black people, immigrants, and Jewish individuals, contributing to the spread of hate speech on social media.
Despite TikTok's ban on hate speech and racist content, the Veo 3-generated videos have been circulating unchecked due to challenges in content moderation and enforcement of platform policies.
Google and TikTok have policies against hate speech and abusive content, but issues with AI understanding subtle nuances enable the creation and spread of harmful videos, raising questions about the effectiveness of existing safeguards.
