Deepfake AI Poses Threat to Election Integrity, Voters Demand Action
-
AI is already being used to distort reality through deepfakes of voices, images, and text. This could undermine trust in elections.
-
Examples include fake Trump/Fauci hug and fabricated audio of a Chicago mayoral candidate approving police brutality.
-
85% of citizens are concerned about misleading AI. Laws are being proposed but may not come soon enough.
-
Candidates should pledge not to use AI to deceive voters through deepfakes. Disclosure alone is not enough.
-
Core definition of deception Showing a candidate doing/saying something they didn't. Suppressing votes through AI is also deceptive.
