Russian President Vladimir Putin didn’t release a video aimed at the American people in which he speaks in English about democracy. The video is a deepfake created in 2020 for an ad campaign ahead of the U.S. presidential election.
"America. You blame me for interfering with your democracy but I don’t have to. You are doing it to yourselves," says the voice attributed to Putin in the clip."Polling stations are closing. You don’t know who to trust. You are divided. There are strings we can pull. But we don’t have to. You are pulling them for us."and shows a split screen with a man watching and the text"Listen here!" appearing at the top.

It’s a deepfake — a form of artificial intelligence that manipulates people’s likenesses and makes it look as if they are doing or saying something that they didn’t. The technology behind deepfakes, and other manipulated imagery, is starting to advancePutin releasing a public address in English aimed at the American people would be worldwide news. We couldn’t find any news reports about it.
