• Title: Merging AI Incidents Research with Political Misinformation Research: Introducing the Political Deepfakes Incidents Database
• Authors: Christina P. Walker, Daniel S. Schiff, Kaylyn Jackson Schiff,
• Abstract summary: The project is driven by the rise of generative AI in politics, ongoing policy efforts to address harms, and the need to connect AI incidents and political communication research. The database contains political deepfake content, metadata, and researcher-coded descriptors drawn from political science, public policy, communication, and misinformation studies. It aims to help reveal the prevalence, trends, and impact of political deepfakes, such as those featuring major political figures or events.

• Abstract: This article presents the Political Deepfakes Incidents Database (PDID), a collection of politically-salient deepfakes, encompassing synthetically-created videos, images, and less-sophisticated `cheapfakes.' The project is driven by the rise of generative AI in politics, ongoing policy efforts to address harms, and the need to connect AI incidents and political communication research. The database contains political deepfake content, metadata, and researcher-coded descriptors drawn from political science, public policy, communication, and misinformation studies. It aims to help reveal the prevalence, trends, and impact of political deepfakes, such as those featuring major political figures or events. The PDID can benefit policymakers, researchers, journalists, fact-checkers, and the public by providing insights into deepfake usage, aiding in regulation, enabling in-depth analyses, supporting fact-checking and trust-building efforts, and raising awareness of political deepfakes. It is suitable for research and application on media effects, political discourse, AI ethics, technology governance, media literacy, and countermeasures.

  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.

• Finding the white male: The prevalence and consequences of algorithmic gender and race bias in political Google searches [0.0]
  This article proposes and tests a framework of algorithmic representation of minoritized groups in a series of four studies. First, two algorithm audits of political image searches delineate how search engines reflect and uphold structural inequalities by under- and misrepresenting women and non-white politicians. Second, two online experiments show that these biases in algorithmic representation in turn distort perceptions of the political reality and actively reinforce a white and masculinized view of politics.

  We propose a novel knowledge-aware approach to political stance prediction (KHAN) We employ (1) hierarchical attention networks (HAN) to learn the relationships among words and sentences in three different levels and (2) knowledge encoding (KE) to incorporate external knowledge for real-world entities into the process of political stance prediction. Through extensive evaluations on three real-world datasets, we demonstrate the superiority of DASH in terms of (1) accuracy, (2) efficiency, and (3) effectiveness.
