‘Disinformation on steroids’: is the US prepared for AI’s influence on the election? - eviltoast
Robocalls of President Biden confused voters earlier this month – but measures to curb the technology could be too little too late

Robocalls of President Biden already confused primary voters in New Hampshire – but measures to curb the technology could be too little too late

The AI election is here.

Already this year, a robocall generated using artificial intelligence targeted New Hampshire voters in the January primary, purporting to be President Joe Biden and telling them to stay home in what officials said could be the first attempt at using AI to interfere with a US election. The “deepfake” calls were linked to two Texas companies, Life Corporation and Lingo Telecom.

It’s not clear if the deepfake calls actually prevented voters from turning out, but that doesn’t really matter, said Lisa Gilbert, executive vice-president of Public Citizen, a group that’s been pushing for federal and state regulation of AI’s use in politics.

    Just waiting for some dipshit to use AI deepfake of Biden saying “by executive order, all guns and ammunition are now illegal” with a nice sora video of the national guard kicking down doors and shooting people, followed by pictures of shuttered gun stores

    Doesnt matter that he cant do that with an executive order, what matters is how gullible people are if you trigger them properly
