In Feb 2023, while election deepfakes were a hypothetical for nearly the entire world, Nigeria faced them in its presidential election. Thanks to @HannahOjo for this great discussion about manipulated media in the election & prospects for interventions in other countries in 2024.
In Feb 2023, the Nigerian presidential election was marred by disinformation, including AI deep fakes. In this #NatSpecs blog, IST Senior VP for Special Projects Eric Davis sat down with journalist @HannahOjo to discuss her experience with misinformation.

Google beats #ChatGPT on the facts re Speaker of the House election eligibility.
And, ChatGPT can't write a passable episode of Rick and Morty. Definitely a work in progress.
