Despite fears of AI-fueled chaos, the deepfake threat to global elections this year was far less catastrophic than anticipated. Robert Loft and Haley Hanson dive into Meta’s surprising findings, including how AI content made up less than 1% of verified election misinformation.

We explore the real disinformation challenges, like mislabeled context and conspiracy theories, and discuss examples from Romania, India, and the U.S. Did Meta’s proactive policies and tech upgrades make the difference, or are deepfakes simply not yet sophisticated enough to wreak havoc?

Plus, we dissect high-profile moments like Erdogan’s weaponized video and Trump’s AI-generated Taylor Swift stunt. Join us for a candid look at the evolving relationship between AI, misinformation, and democracy. 🗳️
