Artificial intelligence (AI) is constantly developing as one of the world’s most closely looked at technologies. Right now, officials are looking to implement certain safeguards to keep AI from doing more harm than good. At the same time, there’s also a clear incentive to make the most of the various advancements AI could offer.
This is a hard needle to thread, one that will remain top of mind for quite some time. Each field or industry could potentially see very different impacts from AI. There’s no one answer or outcome that will remain consistent across the board.
Nevertheless, going into the 2024 presidential election, a study from the Center for Countering Digital Hate (CCDH) suggests that AI could be a problem.
Very strong potential to mislead American voters
Per the CCDH, AI could credibly impersonate the voices of candidates Joe Biden and Donald Trump. In the wrong context, this may be used to have one or both candidates appear to make certain statements or speeches that are not real.
