Manipulated Media via AI Disinformation and Deepfakes in 2024 Elections Erode Trust Across More Than 50 Countries

March 14, 2024

The misuse of generative AI in election disinformation is growing worldwide, facilitated by user-friendly deepfake tools that have lowered the bar for creating convincing deceptions. This trend has undermined trust in elections by manipulating voter perceptions across more than 50 countries, including the U.S., Moldova, Slovakia, Bangladesh, and Taiwan. To address this challenge, it's crucial to implement responsible AI governance and safeguards, such as those provided by Project Cerebellum's AI incident database.
