SXSW 2024
Digital Deception: Disinformation, Deepfakes, and the 2024 Election
Description:
Generative AI systems are rapidly evolving to provide bad actors capabilities to create fake or misleading content that threaten the integrity of election systems and democracy. These capabilities threaten the upcoming presidential election in 2024 in which disinformation and deepfakes present a challenge to voters in distinguishing facts. The political landscape is entering a new period in which the lines are blurred between what is reality and what was created by a sophisticated generative AI system. On the other hand, Generative AI/AI also brings opportunities to fortify elections.
