The kinds of systems picking up these stories isn't "AI". PageRank I wouldn't classify as AI. The real issue is that any system which attempts to organize or curate untrusted information is subject to adversarial attacks. AI up until this point, has been mostly trained on labeled, human curated data sets. But as it starts to get trained on real user input, it'll be subject to attacks by people trying to game it. AI needs to address this robustly, but it's in it's infancy as you say. I mean, we're still working on bias issues like machines learning that "doctor" is "male" because you trained on a corpus of English text, and therefore, most of the input text referenced a doctor as male, and that's the AI getting poisoned by cultural biases, which wasn't even an organized attack.
