Alleged Use of Purportedly AI-Generated and Manipulated Media to Misrepresent Candidates and Disrupt Turkey's 2023 Presidential Election

May 11, 2023

During the 2023 Turkish presidential election, instances of disinformation spread through allegedly manipulated and AI-generated media were reported. These instances purportedly aimed to smear candidates, falsely link opposition figures with terrorist groups, and distribute inappropriate material that impacted a candidate's withdrawal. The misleading information may have disrupted campaigning, altered the electoral landscape, and emphasized the importance of trustworthy AI practices.
