At some point during the 2024 Presidential Election battle, a damning tape or audio clip will probably surface. And one or more of the candidates will have to prove that it is an AI deepfake.
The evidence may be real or possibly a sinister AI creation built by astonishingly lifelike generative AI models.
Generative AI experts assure us that they possess the tools to detect these fraudsters, but proving the authenticity of a recording remains an elusive endeavor.
The real question is whether such evidence will truly matter to partisan voters, especially those quick to discard any information that contradicts their deeply entrenched worldviews.
Deepfake audio, those eerily authentic yet entirely false recordings constructed from snippets of someone speaking, have achieved a level of realism that can deceive even those who know you best.
This poses a grave threat to the political landscape, offering nefarious actors the potential to manipulate and deceive on a grand scale.
