How a deepfake almost ruined my political career

A nightmare scenario happened to politician Cara Hunter: just weeks before her election, she became the victim of a deepfake scam that threatened to upend her life and career. In a fearless talk, she explores AI's potential to undermine truth and democracy — and offers a path forward to harness this powerful technology as a force for good.

This session is part of our collaborative initiative exploring the conflict of AI and democratic processes. For an extended discussion join the panel "Täuschend echt – wie erkennen wir Deepfakes?" hosted by MISSION KI at the IQZ in the Deutsche Technikmuseum.
