Sen. Susan Collins: "I’m very concerned" about deepfakes in 2024

Ep. 7 — Sen. Susan Collins (1-23-2024)

Who?

Sen. Susan Collins (R-ME)

Ask a Pol asked:

How worried are you after seeing that Biden deepfake in the New Hampshire primary?

Key Collins:

“It’s exactly the kind of thing we’ve been worried about, is using the AI, it is remarkably easy to imitate voices or send out a video of someone who is running for office and appears to be doing something or saying something that is utterly fake. And I’m very concerned. That’s why we introduced the bill.”
