"Now, with the rise of advanced generative AI tools, these groups are able to produce seamless, contextually accurate translations that preserve tone, emotion, and ideological intensity across multiple languages. On the neo-Nazi far-right, adoption of AI-voice cloning software has already become particularly prolific, with several English-language versions of Adolf Hitler's speeches garnering tens of millions of streams across X, Instagram, TikTok, and other apps."
"According to a recent research post by the Global Network on Extremism and Technology (GNet), extremist content creators have turned to voice cloning services, specifically ElevenLabs, and feed them archival speeches from the era of the Third Reich, which are then processed into mimicking Hitler in English. Neo-Nazi accelerationists, the kinds who plot acts of terrorism against western governments to provoke a societal collapse, have also turned to these tools to spread more updated versions of their hyper-violent messaging. For example, Siege, an insurgency manual written by American neo-Nazi and proscribed terrorist James Mason that became the veritable bible to organizations like the Base"
Voice-generating bots and advanced AI translation are being adopted by extremist movements to recreate speeches and produce multilingual propaganda that preserves tone and emotion. Advanced generative tools enable seamless, contextually accurate translations, overcoming limitations of human or rudimentary machine translation. Neo-Nazi networks have used voice-cloning services to create English versions of Adolf Hitler’s speeches that amassed tens of millions of streams across major social platforms. Extremist content creators feed archival material into services like ElevenLabs to mimic historical figures and to update and amplify hyper-violent manifestos and manuals used by accelerationists to inspire and coordinate attacks.
