GOP Ad Uses AI to Deepfake Schumer

The National Republican Senatorial Committee has released an ad featuring an AI-generated version of Democratic Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer. The video shows Schumer repeatedly saying 'Every day gets better for us' with a smile.

This ad has sparked concerns as it represents a new frontier in political messaging through AI technology. The video ends with Schumer smiling while a narrator claims the 'Schumer shutdown' is worsening conditions across America.

Although Schumer's words were genuine, experts argue that creating a fake video using AI crosses an ethical line. The video includes a watermark indicating it is 'AI GENERATED'.

The ad has faced criticism on social media, with concerns about the increasing use of AI deepfakes in politics potentially undermining public trust in authentic content.
