AI created deepfakes may wreck the 2024 election.
The October Surprise will rise to new level and last most of the campaign. Every media story, especially social media and campaign productions, should be assumed to be fake.
Also,
Could AI carry out coups next unless stopped now?
Yep! Several elections (and Brexit) were manipulated by social media prior to the 2016 US election (test runs?) so we should be looking for deep fake use in all world elections leading up to 2024 to try to get a handle on it.
Meanwhile, the BBC brings us this stupid shit.
Artificial intelligence could lead to extinction, experts warn
Back in the US, Congress is thinking about it. (That'll help!?)
When It Comes To AI In Elections, We’re Unprepared For What’s Coming
Unprepared is right. I'm not sure any law can help. AI is out there. Social Media is out there. the People are addicted to it. I don't see any way to get a handle on it. Hell, we still don't have a handle on Facebook misinformation and it's been nearly 10 years since it surfaced.
And ... Like the gun nuts say "when AI is outlawed only outlaws (and political operatives) will have AI".
Deep Fakes will be a factor in in 2024. I think the best we can hope for is that there are so many deep fakes going around that people mostly ignore them.
