AI-powered deepfakes, voice clones, and disinformation campaigns pose a serious threat to democracy and social trust. With the ability to manipulate public opinion and interfere with elections, AI challenges the integrity of our democratic institutions. To protect democracy, we need robust verification systems, rapid take-down procedures, and policies that safeguard individuals from AI-driven harm—especially when it comes to sexualized deepfakes and disinformation. #Disinformation #Deepfakes #EthicalAI #AIandDemocracy #ResponsibleTech

I prefer not to see Ai mentioned in conjunction with what I try to convey. Many atrocious claims are repeated about Trump policy. They are not substantiated by video or sound bytes. Yet they are shared by liberal media outlets as if they are fact. A credible campaign would present a detailed plan and would contrast that plan with the opponent's stated platform. NEITHER of these factor into an unprecedented candidate and run for the highest office in the country. Incredible! What is more so, is that few comment on blatant smears and outright mistruths OR the paucity of details beyond the 5K, 25K, and 50K- handouts to first-timers. Where would that funding come from? Four and one-half days until 11/5 - and this has been Kamala's theme. Four and one-half days until 11/5 and she's received every advantage from legacy media. To the detriment of trusting potential voters. They will not know what they actually voted in for four years.

The recent US presidential election saw a surge in AI-driven disinformation, including deepfakes and bot-driven campaigns. Peter Waters discusses a recent study which found that while increasing levels of public mistrust, AI did not measurably alter the election results.  https://lnkd.in/d5aRDP86

Deepfakes & Democracy: As public awareness of the capabilities offered by Gen AI grows, so does the insidious “liars dividend” where malicious actors are able to dismiss legitimate scandals as AI-fabrications. Read our blog to learn how the proliferation of synthetic content across social media platforms was used to undermine democratic discourse in a landmark year of elections.

🤔 Did Taylor Swift endorse Trump?! Nope, it’s AI. Former President Donald Trump is making headlines again by sharing AI-generated images claiming Taylor Swift's endorsement. These fake images, sourced from accounts known for spreading misinformation, show Swift and her fans in pro-Trump scenarios. One deepfake image portrays Swift dressed as Uncle Sam, encouraging votes for Trump, and another shows Swifties in “Swifties for Trump” shirts. Swift has previously supported the Democratic Party, notably criticising Trump during his presidency. This latest move adds another layer of complexity to an already tense election, raising concerns about the impact of deepfakes on political discourse. As we approach the election, how should social media platforms handle the spread of misleading information? 🔗 Link to Article https://lnkd.in/efnmXjPc #Trump #TaylorSwift #AI #Deepfakes #Election2024 #Politics #Misinformation #SocialMedia #Democracy #VoteSmart #DigitalEthics #PublicTrust #ElectionIntegrity
