A nightmare scenario happened to politician Cara Hunter: just weeks before her election, she became the victim of a deepfake scam that threatened to upend her life and career. In a fearless talk, she explores AI’s potential to undermine truth and democracy — and offers a path forward to harness this powerful technology as a force for good. (This talk contains mature language.) (Recorded at TEDAI Vienna on October 19, 2024)

Anyone phrasing it as a political ‘career’ should not be in politics. You should do it for values, not because it pays well.

A career is dedication and should be paid well.

Strongly disagree. When a job is paid well it will attract people that wants to be paid well. We should be aware of who we attract to politics. Who we allow to shape societal values. Sociopaths are overrepresented among CEOs because they are attracted to status and power, I can only guess how politics compare. We should have politicians that goes into politics, purely because they believe in their ideals strongly enough to do so, not because of ANY other reason.

@@RoskildeJonas In most places politicians really don’t get paid all that much. Compared to the average joe, sure, but not when compared to careers the same people could have had in business. You also don’t want politicians to be paid too little, because a) you want competent and qualified people in politics, and b) you don’t want them to be easily corruptible.

Though what happened to her was wrong and more so sad, she is right, I do not trust politicians. She mentions Nancy and Biden (and even our current Pope). I think we know where her political leanings are. Democracy in America is a sham. I am neither Republican nor Democratic. Deep Fakes could be used to start wars, which would be very bad. However, I also don’t trust politicians to regulate fairly. The Feds will go on to misuse the technology and justify it as “protecting democracy.” Regulations also tend to make it so large companies remain and smaller companies cannot compete nor can smaller ones afford to comply financially with massive regulations and fines.

Oh my god after listening these all things people are commenting such like it is nothing for them but time will surely come and you will realise that how pathetic you are thinking right now if it will happen with the your family members someone who is near and dear of you, or with you then you will realise how a simple fake video can destroy someone not from career only by their presence in front of their family members as well I think we should be empathetic, and think about the concern. 🙏🙏

This is happening to many more women than we realize, women who don’t even know that it’s happening to them. I no longer participate on social media, this being one of the reasons. Your pictures can be used for whatever reason against your will, with zero means of protection. AI is just another tool for the bad to outweigh the good in society.

Unfortunate, but we really have bigger problems. Politicians should focus their time and energy on fixing the retirement system, education or digitalisation of public services.

Then we should counter bad actors who use AI with another AI that could detect deep fakes. We could use ChatGPT to analyze images already, so this kind of tech shouldn’t be that far off.
