In a rapidly evolving digital landscape, distinguishing between authentic political speeches and AI-generated deepfakes has become increasingly challenging. While many can easily identify video deepfakes, audio counterfeits and text transcripts pose a greater risk for deception.
Experts highlight that audio deepfakes may present more significant dangers at this time, as creating convincing visual deepfakes remains a complex task. The rise of sophisticated AI technology necessitates heightened awareness and scrutiny regarding the authenticity of political communications.
In response to this growing concern, researchers are actively analyzing a range of political speech formats to better understand and combat the potential threats posed by misinformation in audio and text.
