"DeSantis PAC's AI-Generated Trump Voice Attacks Ex-Prez in Iowa Ad"
A pro-Ron DeSantis super PAC called Never Back Down has released a television ad in Iowa that uses an AI-generated version of Donald Trump's voice to attack the former president. The ad accuses Trump of disrespecting Iowa Governor Kim Reynolds and is based on a post from Trump's social media site. This use of AI-generated content in political ads highlights the potential for deepfakes to become a new frontier in campaign advertising. The ad buy was reportedly at least $1 million.
