A manipulated video that mimics the voice of Vice President Kamala Harrissaying things she did not say is raising concerns about the power of artificial intelligence to mislead with Election Day about three months away.
The video gained attention after tech billionaire Elon Musk shared it on his social media platform X on Friday evening without explicitly noting it was originally released as parody.
The video uses many of the same visuals as a real ad that Harris, the likely Democratic president nominee, released last week launching her campaign. But the video swaps out the voice-over audio with another voice that convincingly impersonates Harris.
So if Musk doesn’t delete his post before (let’s see) August 7, he is still arguably disseminating it and violating the law, huh?
Just read through the part about punishment, and it’d be 90 days in jail and a $1000 fine. Even I could afford that. 🙄
It’s the jail time that’s important. I’d guess Musk would spend a billion dollars to not have to go to jail for 90 days.
