The Threat of Deep Fake Videos in Elections
There are two worrying scenarios: deep fakes and AI chat bots. Deep fakes could manipulate elections by spreading fake videos or images. Some instances have already occurred, but their impact on election outcomes is unclear. AI chat bots providing incorrect information could also disenfranchise voters. Examples of deep fakes include a Turkish election video showing a candidate in a compromising position with a terrorist leader, though it did not influence the outcome. Another example is a Republicans' video depicting President Biden and Vice President Harris in a dystopian future. While voters weren't meant to be fooled, it opens the door to portraying opponents unfavorably. If the 2024 election were between Biden and Trump, let's explore hypothetical outcomes.
