Voters in the United States and around the world are already inundated by AI-generated political content.
IT is a jarring political advertisement: Images of a Chinese attack on Taiwan lead into scenes of looted banks and armed soldiers enforcing martial law in San Francisco. A narrator insinuates that it’s all happening under President Joe Biden’s watch.
Clarke’s bill is going nowhere in a legislature controlled by Republicans, but it illustrates the degree to which the rapid advance of AI has put Washington on the back foot. It’s hard to say how many, but the business of politics is full of the sorts of roles that researchers believe are most vulnerable to disruption by generative AI, such as legal professionals and administrative workers.
Some political consultants that traditionally work only with presidential and Senate campaigns are making plans to work with smaller campaigns using AI to offer more services at a lower price point. In Germany, a far-right party recently distributed AI-generated images of angry immigrants without telling viewers that they weren’t actual photographs.
Trolls and hackers in those nations already churn out propaganda and lies within their own borders and in countries around the world. “It’s going to be native-language English, it’s going to make sense, it’s going to pass the sniff test.”In March, an anonymous X user posted an altered video that went viral, purporting to show Biden verbally attacking transgender people.
The law, still up for debate, could also require companies to reveal more information about datasets used to train chatbots. The technology is already being used to help write first drafts of speeches and op-eds, create ads, draw up lobbying campaigns and more, according to lobbyists, campaign and congressional staffers and political consultants.
On Capitol Hill, the House chief administrative officer’s digital services office handed out 40 licences for ChatGPT Plus in April, which House offices have used to help write emails, research briefs, and even draft legislation. Writing full bills is still too complicated a task for generative AI. OpenAI CEO Sam Altman testified on the Hill in May, less than a year after ChatGPT was opened to the public.
