Deep dives
AI-generated Misinformation on the US Presidential Campaign Trail
The rise of AI is causing complications in politics, particularly during the 2024 US presidential campaign. Various instances of AI-generated deep fakes have already been identified, including fake images of Donald Trump and Anthony Fauci published by Ron DeSantis' campaign. The Republican National Committee also released an AI-generated video depicting a dystopian future under Joe Biden's presidency. These examples highlight the potential for AI to distort political reality and shape voters' perceptions. However, there is a lack of regulation surrounding AI in campaigns, with the Federal Election Commission deadlocked on how to police its use. This poses challenges in determining what is real and what is fabricated, as campaigns engage in an AI fakery arms race.
