How to Spot AI Election Threats
What is Artificial Intelligence?
Artificial Intelligence (AI) can create images, voices, or texts that look and sound real — but aren’t. It can also find patterns in data, and make it possible to target specific communities or people. Misuse of AI is considered voter suppression (intimidating or misleading voters, spreading false information).
Deepfakes:
an AI-made image or recording that has been manipulated to misrepresent someone as doing or saying something that they did not do
Common examples:
Fake candidate speeches
Doctored interviews
Edited crowd scenes
How to spot them:
Watch for unnatural blinking
Listen for odd tone shifts
Mismatched lip-syncing
Example of AI Image:
If something feels off — pause, verify, don’t share
Disinformation Campaigns

What it looks like:

Rage bait headlines or content
