Experts are raising alarms about the potential for misinformation in the upcoming 2024 election, dubbing it the 'AI election.' With the rise of generative AI technologies, creating realistic content has become easier than ever, as demonstrated by a viral AI-generated video featuring Donald Trump and Elon Musk. Dr. Manjeet Rege, an AI expert, emphasizes the dual-edged nature of this technology, where it can be used for both constructive purposes and the spread of disinformation.
Rege highlights a concerning incident where an AI-generated image was used to falsely depict the crowd size at a Kamala Harris rally, illustrating the urgent need for better regulation of AI in political contexts. Despite the potential dangers, Congress has yet to pass any legislation to govern AI's use, leaving much of the responsibility on social media platforms. As the election approaches, the challenge of distinguishing real from fake content becomes increasingly critical, especially for undecided voters who may be swayed by misleading AI-generated material.
