How AI is already changing the 2024 election
There has never been a better time to work in politics, unless you happen to be a machine learning engineer who works for a politician.
Political candidates have typically had few resources to assess the attitudes and opinions of the public throughout modern history. When running for politics, they frequently had to depend more on gut than on wisdom.
How likely it is that artificial intelligence (AI) will change our coming elections is demonstrated by the revelation that the Republican National Committee (RNC) used an AI-generated clip to criticise Joe Biden. Digital technology advancements offer new and quicker instruments for political messaging and can significantly change how voters, legislators, and reporters see the candidates and the election.
We are moving into an era where widespread digital production and dissemination will occur, not just tiny adjustments to how someone looks in a photo or placing someone’s head on another person’s body. We shall encounter a Wild West of campaign claims and counterclaims through templates that are simple and affordable to use, with no capacity to tell phoney from real content and confusion regarding how these appeals will effect the election.
Fake AI campaign against Biden
After President Joe Biden declared his candidature for reelection last week, the Republican National Committee immediately released an attack ad.
The 30-second ad, which featured fake images of China occupying Taiwan, collapsing financial markets, and immigration swarming the border, had the disclaimer, “Built entirely with AI imagery.”
The GOP described the advertisement as “an AI-generated look into the potential future of the country if Joe Biden is re-elected in 2024,” and experts think it is a preview of what to expect in the 2024 presidential race.
The first election cycle incorporating artificial intelligence is expected to take place in 2024, and it may have a significant impact on the results. And that is causing worry.
