Navigating AI deepfakes in election season

From political campaigns inundating platforms with AI-generated content to the intricacies of voice AI and deepfake technologies, Damien and Nikola offer practical tips on distinguishing real from fake. Learn how pronunciation differences, odd question prompts, and latency can help you identify AI bots posing as human callers. This episode provides valuable insights into the evolving landscape of AI in politics and commercial telemarketing.

To detect if a call is from a voice AI bot, listeners can use strategies such as asking unusual questions or noting how the AI handles interruptions and latency.

Current AI systems struggle with accurate pronunciation and understanding accents, which can be used to differentiate between human and AI voices.

Pre-recorded or synthesized voices often sound unusually clear compared to typical phone audio, which might indicate that the audio is not from a live conversation.

"The cocktail of virtually completely human coupled with voice cloning is where things get really dodgy. Older people who might not be at the forefront of what's going on, they just don't even think to think about whether it's real or not, right? And I think that's at the core of how it can be abused."

"When you build automated systems, it actually makes sense to not allow barge in for most things you're going to say, because if you allow easy interruptions, it can really take the conversation off track. But a human would, that's one way in which we're still better than the best machines running out there."
