DeSantis Campaign Utilizes AI-Generated 'Deepfake' Images of Trump and Fauci in Attack Ad
TL;DR Summary
Gov. Ron DeSantis's campaign has spread three images of former President Donald J. Trump embracing Dr. Anthony S. Fauci that forensic experts say are almost certainly realistic-looking "deepfakes" generated by artificial intelligence. The images, which at first glance appear genuine and are interspersed with real photographs in a campaign video, show Mr. Trump hugging and kissing Dr. Fauci, who led the nation's pandemic response and has been a target of harsh criticism from Mr. DeSantis. The use of such deepfakes has been of urgent concern to those who study manipulated images, which thanks to new technology are easier to generate than ever before.
