Deep dives
AI-generated robocalls impersonating political candidates pose a threat to elections
In New Hampshire, a fake robocall from someone impersonating Joe Biden urged voters not to participate in the primary, claiming it only enables Republicans to re-elect Donald Trump. This robocall was likely an unlawful attempt at voter suppression using artificially generated impersonation. AI-generated content, such as audio and video, is becoming a major player in politics, raising concerns about the authenticity of information. Detecting AI-generated fakes is challenging, even for AI companies. The polarization of politics makes people susceptible to believing and spreading misinformation, regardless of its authenticity.
