Artificial intelligence-generated content, including deepfakes, poses a significant risk to electoral integrity. With elections approaching in New Zealand, experts caution voters to be skeptical of authenticity in political content. Deepfakes have previously manipulated public perception, as seen in the U.S. elections where a false Biden clip emerged. Besides deepfakes of real individuals, AI creates synthetic images of non-existent people, raising ethical concerns. Global discussions on regulating AI in political advertising are intensifying, with some countries implementing bans to mitigate misinformation risks.
In the age of advanced AI-generated images and videos, voters must be cautious and critical of the authenticity of the content they encounter.
Concerns over deepfakes in political contexts are increasing, with voters struggling to discern real from synthetic, highlighting the need for responsible regulation.
