Influence of AI and deepfakes looms large over US presidential race • FRANCE 24 English

In the run-up to the US presidential election, the race is still too close to call between Kamala Harris and Donald Trump. But one notable aspect of this election cycle is the prevalence of AI-generated content that's spreading online. From New York to California, anyone can generate images or videos of their preferred candidate and paint them in a certain light. Experts claim that social media platforms like Meta and X aren't doing enough to combat misinformation. Our France 2 colleagues report, with FRANCE 24's Lauren Bain.

These ai generated videos are quite distinguishable because they're either too good to be true or too straightforward for a candidate's flaws like incompetence Kamala 😂
