The Impact of AI and Election Meddling on NATO Ally's Presidential Election.

Turkey's upcoming presidential election has been marred by allegations of election meddling through the use of deepfakes and other AI-generated material, with the main opposition candidate accusing Russia of backing President Erdogan to drive a wedge between Turkey and NATO. The race has already seen one candidate drop out after claiming he was the victim of a faked "character assassination" online. Experts have raised concerns about the potential for bad actors to utilize AI technology to interfere in upcoming elections, including the creation of misleading deepfake images and videos.
