Experts say the rise of deepfake technology may pose a significant threat to democracy in 2024, with major elections happening in India and the US. These manipulated videos, created using artificial intelligence, can deceive viewers by replacing faces or altering voices. While some deepfakes are created for humorous or malicious purposes, their potential impact on elections is a growing concern. With the spread of misinformation and the difficulty in distinguishing between real and fake content, voters may struggle to make informed decisions. Countries like China have implemented regulations to combat the emerging technology, while others, including India and the US, grapple with the need for legislation to protect the integrity of democratic processes.
