The Problem With AI in the US Election

I'm terrified of going into this US election with AI. We can basically make tailored videos that could be different one for Sandy, different one to rattle instantaneously at scale. And my point being is we need digital ID. Could there be a greater illustration of how out of sync, the political system is with technology than the fact that the most likely candidates running in that US election are going to be octogenarians? I mean, honestly, I just can't understand sometimes the world.
