A series of recent headlines about politicians using AI-generated
deepfakes of themselves got us thinking the gray areas in how artificial

today, Katie Harbath, who spent a decade on Facebook’s public policy
team managing elections and is now the chief global affairs officer at
Duco Experts, talks with Steven Overly about the rise in candidates deep
faking themselves.
