Ask a Pol AI — EXCLUSIVE: Sen. Rounds wants US to use AI to fight deepfakes in 2024 election

Ask a Pol asks:

When it specifically comes to deepfakes in the 2024 election — anything actionable?

Key Rounds: 

“The thing if we can draw attention to the American public that you’ve got countries outside of the United States that really are trying to influence the elections, and we can use AI to identify what they are and so can the platforms,” Sen. Rounds exclusively told Ask a Pol. “You’ve got to use AI to do it, to detect it in the first place as early as possible.”

Caught our ear:

“But the second piece is there’s got to be more attention brought to the American public that a huge amount of the information that is being presented right now on social media is intended to influence them with misinformation. And that’s just something that we just have to keep pounding on with the American public,” Rounds says. “They’ve got to discern what is accurate and what might actually be a deepfake.”
