Republicans unleash AI-generated deepfake ad to attack President Biden
In a stunning political move that has left many scratching their heads, Republicans have decided to employ artificial intelligence (AI) to create a political ad attacking President Joe Biden.
The ad features a deepfake version of the President engaging in a fictitious conversation with Vice President Kamala Harris about defunding the police, before going on to accuse the Biden administration of being weak on crime and failing to protect American citizens.
The use of AI in political advertising is not new, but the creation of a deepfake of a sitting President is certainly a first. Experts are raising eyebrows about the potential impact such ads could have on public opinion and the trustworthiness of political discourse.
As the technological landscape continues to evolve, the question of whether it is ethical to use AI-generated deepfakes to sway public opinion remains up for debate.
One thing is for sure: politics has never been more surreal.
