The article reveals the emergence of artificially generated images of Donald Trump with Black supporters, a new trend among his fans in Florida and Michigan that's gaining traction online. These fakes, produced by popular A.I. tools, are being used to misleadingly suggest Trump's popularity among Black voters, without disclosure of their artificial nature. The falsities range from Trump attending Black-hosted events to engaging with Black communities in stereotypical settings, aimed at contrasting his appeal to Black voters against President Joe Biden's. While some tech platforms have begun addressing the issue by restricting the creation of fake political images and adding disclosure labels, the Federal Election Commission has delayed election-related A.I. regulations, and state laws vary significantly in effect and enforcement. As the 2024 election approaches, the proliferation of such deepfakes signals potential chaos and underscores the challenges in maintaining democratic processes amidst the rise of sophisticated A.I. manipulations.
