How We Can Protect Against Deceptive AI Political Ads

Subramaniam Vincent, director of journalism and media ethics, and newest Forbes monthly columnist, published by Forbes.

Forbes newest columnist, and Ethics Center Director of Journalism and Media Ethics, Subramaniam Vincent, writes about the use of generative AI in political ads in this first article of a new monthly column. Vincent addresses the need to protect ourselves from falling victim to deceptive media practices, and the responsibility that falls to journalists and newsrooms regarding the spread of propaganda and misinformation.

"How does generative AI change the already vexing issue of political ads, deception, and lies? Is this just more of the same, just produced differently and more sophisticatedly, or are there fundamentally new questions altogether along with responsibilities for news organizations to think about?"
