Most of the tools tested by researchers at the nonprofit Center for Countering Digital Hate could be used to successfully clone a wide range of voices belonging to European and American politicians.
Voters cast ballots in Georgia's primary election at a polling location on May 21, 2024 in Atlanta. Many officials and researchers worry that audio deepfakes of politicians could be used to sway elections this year.
says in the report, “This report shows that AI-voice cloning tools…are wide-open to abuse in elections.”this year, including the U.S., the United Kingdom and the European Union. Officials and researchers around the world are worried that the fast-developing AI technologies could be used to exploit divisions and sow chaos during elections.
In January, a deepfake of President Joe Biden’s voice produced with ElevenLabs’ technology surfaced before the New Hampshire primary. In March ain Slovakia boasting about rigging the polls and raising the cost of beer went viral ahead of the election. The candidate lost the election to a more pro-Russian opponent, though it’s difficult to determine what influence the fake recording had on the results.
“It shows that if some of these tools are vulnerable, that actually makes all of them more vulnerable”, says CCDH’s head of research, Callum Hood. . That makes it more difficult for social media companies to detect faked audio compared to images and video as they spread online.
