DeSantis Campaign Under Fire for Using AI-Generated Images in Ads.

Republican presidential candidate Ron DeSantis shared a video on Twitter that included three fake images of former President Donald Trump and Dr. Anthony Fauci hugging, which appear to be AI-generated. The use of AI-generated imagery in political attacks is becoming more common, blurring the line between fact and fiction. The rapid improvement and deployment of generative AI is raising concerns about the spread of misleading claims and propaganda. This is not the first time AI-generated media has been used in political campaigns, and experts warn that it will become increasingly difficult to distinguish from reality.
