Donald Trump's Presidential Campaign Released Deepfakes Attacking Ron DeSantis

May 24, 2023

Former President Donald Trump utilized deepfaked voices and AI-generated content to criticize Florida Governor Ron DeSantis in two controversial videos. The first video, shared on platforms like Rumble and Instagram, depicted a chaotic and offensive fake Twitter Spaces event featuring deepfakes of Elon Musk, George Soros, Klaus Schwab, Dick Cheney, Adolf Hitler, and an AI-generated Satanic voice. The second video showed a rocket with the label 'Ron 2024' failing to launch before takeoff, raising concerns about safe and secure AI practices.
