Description

We are in the midst of the first major U.S. election of the generative AI era. The people who want to win your vote have easy access to tools that can create images, video or audio of real people doing or saying things they never did — and slap on weird appendages or other make-believe effects along with targeted slogans. But the potential to deceive has led about two dozen states to enact some form of regulation requiring political ads that use artificial intelligence to include a label. So how do voters respond when they know a campaign has used AI? That’s what Scott Brennen and his team at New York University’s Center on Technology Policy set out to answer in a recent study.
