Faking your opponent in negative campaign ads

2025-11-12 21:45:58.333613+01 by Dan Lyke 0 comments

Ad featuring AI generated senator in Georgia highlights use of technology in political campaigns. Republican Congressman Mike Collins’ campaign created the ad, mimicking Jon Ossoff's appearance and voice.

“I think this is the future of negative campaigning,” Dr. Nathan Price, a political science professor at the University of North Georgia, told Channel 2’s Richard Elliot. “While you and I might recognize an AI-generated video as inauthentic, some people are going to believe what they see.”

At the very least, it's plain that Collins is a liar not to be trusted.
