US EditionTikTok Is Being Flooded with Racist AI Videos Generated by Google’s Veo 3
NO LOC, JUL 2 – Millions of racist and antisemitic videos made with Google's Veo 3 AI have spread widely on TikTok, despite platform rules and content removal efforts, says Media Matters.
- A report from Media Matters revealed that racist and antisemitic AI-generated videos, apparently produced using Google's Veo 3, flooded TikTok.
- Google launched Veo 3 slightly over a month ago as a realistic AI video tool, but its guardrails appear insufficient to block hateful content.
- The videos, all eight seconds long per Veo 3's limit, include harmful stereotypes targeting Black, Asian, South Asian, Jewish, and immigrant groups.
- TikTok enforces policies against hate speech, having removed many violating accounts before and after the report, but the volume challenges timely moderation.
- This situation indicates AI-generated hate speech may become a major moderation challenge across social platforms integrating tools like Veo 3.
