The 2024 U.S. presidential election is witnessing the profound influence of artificial intelligence, particularly in the realm of misinformation. A notable incident involved Donald Trump sharing an AI-generated image of Taylor Swift endorsing his campaign, which highlighted the ease with which synthetic media can mislead voters.
