Software for voice cloning from ElevenLabs and photorealistic photography from OpenAI's DALL-E 2, Stable Diffusion, and Midjourney could potentially be used for misinformation, according to a report by"We should be scared shitless" about the threats that the huge language models that underpin the technology offer to democracy said Gary Marcus, emeritus professor of cognitive science at New York University and an expert in artificial intelligence.
"It is hard to see how A.I.-generated misinformation will not become a major force in the next election."experts can create convincing fake videos. Chris Meserole, a fellow at the Brookings Institution, cautions that voice clones could play a significant role in the 2024 elections, allowing audio clips to surface at crucial moments in the election, claiming to be a recording of a candidate saying something scandalous.
While not everyone is convinced that the situation is as serious as Marcus suggests, he does, per the Fortune report.
