Microsoft and Meta Launch Initiatives to Combat AI-Generated Campaign Content for Election Season

Microsoft and Meta are gearing up for the upcoming election season by launching initiatives to combat AI-generated campaign content. They have released measures to help voters identify political ads containing altered images, video, or audio, and offer protection against deepfakes for politicians. AI chatbots are expected to create targeted political ads, but social networks are not fully prepared. Meta also mandates political advertisers to disclose the use of deepfakes in their ads.
