Debate Over AI Use in Biden Campaign

In a controversial opinion piece published by the Huffington Post, writer Kaivan Shroff suggested that President Joe Biden's campaign should leverage artificial intelligence (AI) to create enhanced videos of Biden that make him appear more youthful and articulate. Shroff argues that the stakes of the 2024 election are so high that using AI to improve Biden's public image is justified to prevent a Trump victory, which he claims threatens American democracy. The proposal has sparked significant backlash, with critics accusing it of promoting deception and undermining democratic integrity. These suggestions come amid growing concerns about Biden's mental health and performance, especially after a lackluster debate showing. Despite these challenges, Biden has resisted calls to step aside, and the campaign insists there is no contingency plan for Vice President Kamala Harris to take over.
