The White House is preparing to cryptographically verify videos of Joe Biden so they are not mistaken for deepfakes.
AI generated robocalls have recently been made illegal.
The White House is increasingly aware that the American public needs a way to tell that statements from President Joe Biden and related information are real in the new age of easy-to-use generative AI.
People in the White House have been looking into AI and generative AI since Biden became president in 2020, but in the last year, the use of generative AI has exploded with the release of OpenAI’s ChatGPT. Big Tech players such as Meta, Google, Microsoft, and a range of startups have raced to release consumer-friendly AI tools, leading to a new wave of deepfakes — last month, an AI-generated robocall attempted to undermine voting efforts related to the 2024 presidential election using Biden’s voice .
On Thursday, the Federal Communications Commission declared that such calls are illegal . Yet, there is no end in sight for more sophisticated new generative-AI tools that make it easy for people with little to no technical know-how to create fake images, videos, and calls that seem authentic.
That’s a problem for any government looking to be a trusted source of information. Ben Buchanan, Biden’s Special Advisor for Artificial Intelligence, told Business Insider that the White House is working on a way to verify all of its official communications due to the rise in fake generative-AI content.
Buchanan said the aim is to “essentially cryptographically verify” everything from the White House, whether a statement or a video.
This will be a nasty, negative campaign and Trump’s supporters will be producing many fake videos to discredit Biden. So its surely no surprise that this verification is in place?

Beyond the campaign, they’re also trying to make sure that people can be assured that if they see something from Biden about the country that it’s actually from Biden.

You mean like the democrats are producing fake propaganda about Trump?
A very advantageous venture to ensure All and Anyone is themselves when appearing on social media, TV, or any public view. It might curtail some of this scheming and nefarious belittling of people.
I’d be very surprised that they need to make anything up, Trump gives them all the outrageous content they need.
