Trump Says He Had A Speech Rewritten By AI And Decided Im Going To Use This

Trump also discussed other AI-related topics on the podcast, including deep fakes. The former president said he saw a deepfake of him promoting a product "and I could not tell [that it was fake], the voice was perfect, the lips moved perfectly with every word…if you were a lip reader, you'd say it's absolutely perfect." Trump said he thought this was "scary" and gave an example of a deepfake being made of a sitting U.S. president, in which they announce that "13 nuclear missiles" have been launched against a rival nation and they will hit in less than 13 minutes. Trump said he asked Elon Musk if there was any way that in such an event Russia or China could say "that's not really President Trump" and Musk told him "there is no way."

Trump's remarks about artificial intelligence and deepfakes come amid growing concerns about the use of generative AI tools to spread disinformation ahead of the presidential elections this year. In January, a robocall featuring a deepfake voice of President Joe Biden urged Democrats in New Hampshire to not vote in the state's presidential primary. The calls were eventually traced back to a Texas-based company, Life Corporation. Since then, the Federal Communications Commission has banned the use of artificial intelligence-generated robocalls. Last year, the Republican National Committee published an attack ad targeting Biden, which used AI-generated imagery to show a post-apocalyptic America if the president won a second term.
