DeSantis Campaign Accused of Spreading Misinformation With AI-Generated Video Depicting Trump and Fauci Embracing

Ron DeSantis' presidential campaign released a video using fake AI-generated images of Donald Trump hugging Dr. Anthony Fauci.
Experts confirmed the images were created using AI software and warned of the threats posed by manipulated media.
The video was intended as an attack on Trump but drew criticism from Republicans who warned it could undermine election integrity.
AI tools are making it increasingly difficult to spot manipulated images and videos, raising concerns about the spread of propaganda and misleading claims.
Social media platforms are under pressure to curb the spread of AI-generated misinformation but currently lack laws requiring intervention.
