North Carolina Republicans have released an AI-generated advertisement depicting a Democratic candidate slow dancing with a drag queen, in the latest example of artificial intelligence being deployed in political campaigning.
The ad, put out by the state's Republican party, uses AI-generated imagery to portray the Democratic candidate in a scene widely seen as an attempt to appeal to socially conservative voters ahead of the election.
The use of AI-generated content in political advertising has drawn increasing scrutiny as the technology becomes more accessible to campaign operatives, raising concerns about the potential for misleading or fabricated depictions of candidates.
