- Abstract summary: It is becoming cheaper to launch disinformation operations at scale using AI-generated content, in particular 'deepfake' technology.
We discuss the threats from deepfakes in politics, highlight model specifications underlying different types of deepfake generation methods, and contribute an accessible evaluation of the efficacy of existing detection methods.
We highlight the limitations of existing detection mechanisms and discuss the areas where policies and regulations are required to address the challenges of deepfakes.

- Abstract: It is becoming cheaper to launch disinformation operations at scale using AI-generated content, in particular 'deepfake' technology. We have observed instances of deepfakes in political campaigns, where generated content is employed to both bolster the credibility of certain narratives (reinforcing outcomes) and manipulate public perception to the detriment of targeted candidates or causes (adversarial outcomes). We discuss the threats from deepfakes in politics, highlight model specifications underlying different types of deepfake generation methods, and contribute an accessible evaluation of the efficacy of existing detection methods. We provide this as a summary for lawmakers and civil society actors to understand how the technology may be applied in light of existing policies regulating its use. We highlight the limitations of existing detection mechanisms and discuss the areas where policies and regulations are required to address the challenges of deepfakes.

Social media platforms curate access to information and opportunities, and so play a critical role in shaping public discourse.
Prior studies have used black-box methods to show that these algorithms can lead to biased or discriminatory outcomes.
We propose a new method for platform-supported auditing that can meet the goals of the proposed legislation.
