Oren Etzioni reflects on the 2024 election cycle, sharing concerns about AI-generated disinformation disrupting democracy, but notes the anticipated onslaught did not materialize.
Etzioni explains that while lies and conspiracy theories were present, they did not necessarily rely on synthetic media, which dampened expected AI deepfake impact.
He posits that generative AI technology, particularly for creating truly realistic deepfake videos, still requires advancements, suggesting current capabilities limit widespread misuse.
Etzioni emphasizes the positive news regarding misinformation during the election year, expressing both relief and a degree of confusion over the lack of AI-driven disinformation.
