Artificial intelligence (AI) is increasingly being used in political campaigns, with examples like deepfake videos targeting candidates. Adrian Perkins, a Democrat running for re-election as mayor in Louisiana, faced an AI-generated attack ad that affected his campaign. Concerns arise about the use of AI in elections, with debates on disclosure rules for AI-generated content and fears of foreign interference. AI's role in creating deepfake voice messages and its potential impact on campaign outcomes are under scrutiny, highlighting the high risks and rewards associated with AI in politics.
