DEEPFAKES ON ELECTION

The Impact of AI-Generated Deepfakes on Elections

AI-generated deepfakes pose a significant threat to the integrity of elections. The full impact of these deepfake videos on misinforming the electorate is still unknown. The narrative around deepfakes, rather than the deepfakes themselves, may be what most undermines election integrity.

Recent Incidents of AI Misuse in Politics

Last month, a robocall impersonating U.S. President Joe Biden advised New Hampshire voters not to vote in the state’s presidential primary election. The voice, generated by artificial intelligence, sounded quite real. This incident reflects a growing concern that generative AI will make it cheaper and easier to spread misinformation and run disinformation campaigns.

Regulatory Actions Against AI Misuse

The Federal Communications Commission recently issued a ruling to make AI-generated voices in robocalls illegal.

Global Impact of AI-Generated Deepfakes

Deepfakes have already affected other elections around the globe. In Slovakia and Nigeria, AI-generated audio recordings circulated, spreading misinformation and potentially undermining the integrity of the elections.

Media’s Role in Highlighting the Threat of Deepfakes

Media outlets including the BBC and the New York Times have been sounding the alarm on deepfakes since 2018. However, in past elections, the technology did not produce believable fakes and was not accessible enough to be “weaponized for political disinformation”.

The Future of AI-Generated Deepfakes

As deepfakes continually improve in sophistication and accessibility, they will increasingly contribute to the deluge of informational detritus. They’re already convincing. The New York Times published an online test demonstrating the difficulty of differentiating between real and AI-generated images.

AI IS MONITORING YOU

Major Companies Using AI to Monitor Employee Messages

Several major companies, including Walmart, Delta, T-Mobile, Chevron, and Starbucks, are reportedly using AI to monitor employee conversations on messaging apps. This development has been facilitated by the rise of remote work, which has led to more employee chats taking place online.

The Role of Aware

These companies are using software from a startup AI company called "Aware". The software scans platforms like Slack and Microsoft Teams for keywords that may indicate employee dissatisfaction and potential safety risks. It has already assessed up to 20 billion individual messages from more than 3 million employees.

Public Reaction to AI Monitoring

The public reaction to this development has been mixed. Some people feel that it’s an invasion of privacy and doesn’t foster a trustworthy business environment. Others, however, are less bothered by the idea, stating that they are careful about what they do on company time and property.

Regulatory Actions

In response to the misuse of AI, the Federal Communications Commission has issued a ruling to make AI-generated voices in robocalls illegal.

AI STOCKS

No Nvidia regret? Top AI stocks for your watchlist!

Many artificial intelligence (AI) investors are regretting missing out on Nvidia’s significant gains. The stock has risen by 280% in the last year and over 1,800% in five years, making it one of the major beneficiaries in the AI space.

AI Investment Alternatives

However, Nvidia is not the only AI stock in the chip industry, and AI is much more than just semiconductors. With the breadth of AI investing options, the industry should continue to bring opportunities. Three Fool.com contributors suggest looking at Amazon (NASDAQ: AMZN), The Trade Desk (NASDAQ: TTD), and Tesla (NASDAQ: TSLA).

Amazon’s AI Potential

Amazon is the largest cloud services provider, with about 31% of the worldwide cloud services market. New generative AI tools and applications often utilize cloud services like AWS. As the AI revolution continues, Amazon is poised to profit thanks to its lead in the cloud infrastructure market.

The Trade Desk:

The Trade Desk, a pioneer using AI for smarter advertising, has boomed since its 2016 IPO. With only 1% market share in a booming industry, The Trade Desk offers a long runway for growth and a compelling AI investment.

Tesla:

Beyond EVs, Tesla is a battery, solar, & AI powerhouse. They even build their own chips! Analysts predict massive growth fueled by AI and robotaxis, pushing the stock to $2,000 (says Cathie Wood). While ambitious, her past Tesla prediction hit the mark, and with new models and AI advancements, Tesla's future looks bright.
