Here’s a summary of the transcript in 300 words:
A manipulated video mimicking Vice President Kamala Harris’s voice has raised concerns about the power of artificial intelligence (AI) to mislead in politics. The video, which claims Harris is a “diversity hire” and doesn’t know how to run the country, was shared by Tech billionaire Elon Musk on his social media platform X. The video uses AI-generated audio to convincingly impersonate Harris’s voice and has been viewed over 123 million times.
The video is an example of how AI-generated images, videos, or audio clips can be used to poke fun or mislead about politics. As the US presidential election approaches, the video highlights the lack of significant federal action to regulate the use of AI in politics, leaving rules guiding AI in politics largely to states and social media platforms.
Experts who specialize in AI-generated media believe that the AI-generated voice is very good, raising concerns that even though people may not believe it, the video is that much more powerful when the words are in Harris’s voice. Generative AI companies that make voice cloning tools available to the public should do better to ensure their services are not used in ways that could harm people or democracy.
This is not the first time that AI-generated media has been used to influence voters with misinformation or humor. In Slovakia, fake audio clips impersonated a candidate discussing plans to rig an election and raise the price of beer days before the vote. In Louisiana, a political action committee created a satirical ad superimposing a mayoral candidate’s face onto an actor portraying him as an underachieving high school student.
The incident raises questions about how to best handle content that blurs the lines of what is considered an appropriate use of AI, particularly if it falls into the category of satire.
