Biden reacts to watching deepfakes of himself: ‘When the hell did I say that?’

President Joe Biden signed a sweeping executive order Monday 30 October on artificial intelligence — the first of its kind for the US government.

In his remarks, the president mentioned the danger of deepfakes, including their ability to smear reputations and scam people.

“I’ve watched one of me,” Mr Biden said, causing laughter to erupt from the audience. “I said, when the hell did I say that?”

Part of the executive order will address deepfakes. The Department of Commerce will work to develop standards to clearly watermark and label AI-generated content.

At least we can tell A.I. Joe apart from the real thing because it's much more coherent.

At this point AI will benefit Biden in a way Americas can understand what the hell he is saying!

“When did I say that”.

Ai smears reputations: Joe, you do a great job of that yourself 🤣🤣🤣

[edwardnestor]

He is intimating that AI was used to make him sound or look stupid, it does not take AI to do that for Biden.

[i_wouldprefer_not_to]

I imagine he often starts sentences with: "When the hell" these days! 🤣

I'll be impressed when AI technology can make him sound the least bit there's a challenge for you....

[ChristineKiral]

It's never all right to hurt a child 💯

[stevensharp]

He doesn't even know when he said things he did say, never mind things he didn't say.

[adddddams]

A.I = scapegoat for his incompetence. It couldn't be any more obvious what they're up to.

[manoxipo]

This was always going to come . Excuses for future.

[robroy]

Crazy thing is that the clips they played him were actually genuine.

[unknowntrader]

Naaa mr Biden that was you saying that. You just can’t remember it. Someone who can’t remember which way to exit the stage will have zero chance of remembering what he said yesterday.

[beatpeace]
