Highstakes Senate race in Texas sees proliferation of AIgenerated attack ads
"WASHINGTON — It is never easy separating fact from fiction in campaign advertising, but the emergence of artificial intelligence (AI) is adding to the confusion. Campaigns are beginning to use phony AI-generated images in television ads to sharpen their attacks and, critics say, mislead voters. This is all playing out in a big way in the high-stakes race for U.S. Senate in Texas.
One ad from Republican incumbent Sen. John Cornyn’s campaign showed a computer-generated video of Republican Attorney General Ken Paxton riding in a car with women who are not his wife. An AI-generated video in a Paxton campaign spot displayed a fake scene of Cornyn dancing with U.S. Rep. Jasmine Crockett, D-Dallas.
Campaign finance attorney Andrew Cates said the proliferation of deepfake videos in political advertising raises several questions and concerns.
“How misleading is it to the public, and do you need to have disclaimers? Do you need to announce and let everybody know that you’re using AI? Is that the ethical thing to do? Is it legally required?” Cates said. "
