  • AI, Deepfakes & Democracy: Can Elections Survive Synthetic Media?

    Generative AI is not only about viral deepfakes. It also enables synthetic content at scale, including text, audio, and images that can be produced quickly and micro-targeted.

    Ales Cap, a UCL PhD researcher studying AI and democracy, joins me to discuss what the evidence suggests about deepfakes in elections so far, why measuring impact is difficult without platform data, and why the biggest risks may be gradual through erosion of shared facts and trust. We also explore ideas for safeguarding electoral integrity and the promise of AI-enabled mass deliberation.

    We cover:

    * Deepfakes and election integrity

    * Synthetic media beyond video

    * The “infinite content machine” and micro-targeting

    * Safeguarding elections and mass deliberation
