"Some politicians feel the same way. "When I'm on my feed today, I'm scared to death," Democratic Sen. Chris Murphy of Connecticut told BI. "I have no idea what's real and what's not, and I don't understand how we have a meaningful political dialogue in this country when there is no way for voters to distinguish between what's real and what's not." Everywhere you look online, politicians and political groups are using AI to make a point."
"Even Trump himself has said he thinks the proliferation of AI-generated content online is "a little bit scary, to be honest with you." "President Trump is the greatest communicator in American history," White House spokesperson Liz Huston told BI in a statement for this story. "No leader has used social media to communicate directly with the American people more creatively and effectively than President Trump.""
Hyperrealistic AI-generated content is increasingly widespread in politics and is creating uncertainty about authenticity. Lawmakers express fear and confusion about distinguishing real material from fabricated media, undermining meaningful political dialogue. Political actors across the spectrum are using AI-generated videos and images to attack opponents and mock figures. Examples include a circulated AI video depicting a president dumping a brown substance onto protestors and numerous AI images on social platforms by various campaigns. Some officials describe the proliferation as alarming while others highlight political messaging effectiveness through social media. The spread of synthetic media raises concerns about misinformation and democratic discourse.
