From the article: "The fabricated images, highlighted in a recent BBC investigation, provide further evidence to support warnings that the use of AI-generated imagery will only increase as the November general election approaches. Experts said they highlight the danger that any group — Latinos, women, older male voters — could be targeted with lifelike images meant to mislead and confuse as well as demonstrate the need for regulation around the technology."

2024 election: Fake AI images of Trump create cause for concern
Fake images of Donald Trump surrounded by smiling Black voters are circulating online, highlighting the potential dangers posed by artificial intelligence ahead of the 2024 election. The images, which have not been linked back to Trump's campaign, could mislead people about the former president's support among African Americans. Some in Trump's campaign have expressed frustration with the images, which they said could undermine the campaign's outreach to Black voters. Powerful AI programs that can easily generate lifelike audio and video are now cheaper and easier to use than ever, making it hard to distinguish what's real from what's not.
