In Feb 2023, while election deepfakes were a hypothetical for nearly the entire world, Nigeria faced them in its presidential election. Thanks to @HannahOjo for this great discussion about manipulated media in the election & prospects for interventions in other countries in 2024.

In Feb 2023, the Nigerian presidential election was marred by disinformation, including AI deep fakes. In this #NatSpecs blog, IST Senior VP for Special Projects Eric Davis sat down with journalist @HannahOjo to discuss her experience with misinformation.

Also, see how references to The Princess Bride, Harry Potter, The Office, and South Park are critical to any substantive discussion about the risks that the misuse of AI poses to democratic integrity.
(albeit invoked in the blog post, not the FEC submission)

Google beats #ChatGPT on the facts re Speaker of the House election eligibility.
And, ChatGPT can't write a passable episode of Rick and Morty. Definitely a work in progress.
