Another day, another example of an election deepfake.
This time its the US election and the use of a voice AI tool to change the voiceover to a Kamala Harris film.
Basic video tools are also used along with existing footage.
The technology that created something like this is available to use for small change and the time needed to master then can be counted in minutes and hours.
You may be surprised that it was shared by Elon Musk the owner of X/Twitter without a note pointing out it was parody.
You’d also maybe think something that undermined the democratic process would make you run a mile.
The aside from this is that the UK Government’s Government Communications Service generative AI policy would thankfully stop a UK arm of government from making something like this.
