AI?

Look for the ambiguity and ask what it will cost you.

Not available for me either.

Shame. Ah, well, never mind.
Can you open this link? The article explains what the documentary is all about.

@Ryo1 The site wants me to subscribe. The only things I can see are the headline and picture of the "Deep Fake".

Thanks for trying.

How Dispatches created AI content - and its warning for broadcasters

Kalel Productions produced Can AI Steal Your Vote? - Dispatches for C4, trying to sway voters with content created by AI tools.

Participants being pushed towards voting Labour were shown deep-faked footage of Rishi Sunak announcing new Conservative policies – including a £35 charge for GP appointments and an increase in the minimum amount required to put down as a deposit on a property, to 20% of the value. They also saw an AI-generated hot mic of Sunak leaving a conference, where he is waylaid by a reporter asking whether he plans to privatise the NHS and sell it to the USA. The fake hot mic hears Sunak, in his car, saying “How the hell did they know about the NHS? Jesus Christ. Find out who leaked.”

Participants being pushed towards voting Conservative were shown deep-faked footage of Sir Keir Starmer announcing some new Labour policies – including placing asylum seekers with children at the top of the housing list and a new “social care” tax of 5% on those earning over £50,000. They also saw an AI-generated hot mic of Starmer seeming to talk to his aides after a meeting. In the fake hot mic, he says “I’ll just tell those guys whatever they want to hear, it won’t matter once we’re in power.”
