We learned 10 years ago from a ruling by the Supreme
Court in the case of Susan B
Anthony List vs. Driehaus that lying in a political campaign did not
violate the Constitution and was therefore legal.
Sadly politicians have now taken this ruling to a
completely different level as we saw the entire Covid-19 debacle and various
other smear campaigns.
Add this ruling to Artificial Intelligence and now the
citizens are ripe for MASSIVE lies to come down the pike.
Imagine receiving a robo call from a voice on the
other end that sounds exactly like either Biden or Trump making false claims
about who supports what or maybe urging you to vote remotely to a totally bogus
site online so “your voice will be heard.” AI will be the worse dirty trick in
this election cycle.
Many of us would see that as a red flag and ignore it,
but some are so blinded by allegiance to one party they might follow through.
How about a video of one candidate or the other making
more wild claims that the opposing candidate is out to steal your Social
Security or Health Care benefits. You might think because this video said it,
it must be true.
Words to the wise in this election cycle, dirty tricks
are coming this fall and it will be up to you to dismiss them entirely or at
the very least research them.
After all……the Supreme Court said it was legal!
