FEC Warns Americans to Look Out For Deepfakes That Make Trump Look Competent or Intelligent
WASHINGTON, D.C. — The Federal Elections Commission is imploring all American voters to “keep a sharp eye out” for deepfake videos that attempt to influence them with just a few weeks left before the election. In particular, the FEC is warning that they’ve received several reports of new deepfake videos that attempt to show President Donald Trump as a sane, rational, or intelligent human being.
As technology progresses and develops and enhances,” FEC Vice Executive Media Director Charles Whitson told reporters today, “it’s vital that Americans learn to detect deepfake videos that are made to influence them with false information. Beyond detection, every voter must also learn how to investigate whether a video they’ve just watched is real or not.”
According to Mr. Whitson, while it can be difficult with some videos to tell what’s true and what’s fiction, with the president some deepfakes can be “easily discounted.”
“At this point, four years into his presidency, we know the kind of person Donald Trump is. We know the things he says and how he says them,” Whitson explained. “So if you all of a sudden find yourself watching a video clip of him that seems extremely outside of those known boundaries of his behavior and vocabulary, you should have red flags raised and alarm bells ringing in your ears.”
