"Software robots masquerading as humans are influencing the political discourse on social media as never before and could threaten the very integrity of the 2016 US presidential election," said Emilio Ferrara who is the research leader at the USC.
"These bots have become so sophisticated that they can tweet, retweet, share content, comment on posts, 'like' candidates, grow their social influence by following legit human accounts and even engage in human-like conversations," researchers study say so.
"They do so by stealing online pictures, giving them fictitious names, and cloning biographical information from existing accounts," they added. These tweets may exert affect on the decisions of people and can hamper the righteousness of the elections to be held.
