In a world where it is unclear what is real and what is fake, tech companies see democracy at risk. Although they promised joint action to protect elections, they are taking a lot of time to implement it. Things would be different.

This AI-generated image of Donald Trump is circulating on social media.

A picture of Donald Trump at an African-American Christmas party recently circulated on Facebook. He radiates, appears young and energetic – and so close to the people. The country needs a president like that, right?

Very few users of social networks are likely to give more than this brief thought, after all, they usually scroll on quickly.

Only those who stay with the picture for longer notice that it is artificially created. Trump’s hands look deformed, he appears to have a kind of webbed skin between two fingers, and the nail is missing from his index finger. In addition, an illegible character can be seen on a man’s baseball cap in the background – a typical feature of AI-generated images.

Trump’s hand is deformed: an indication that the image is AI-generated.

It’s currently a super election year and politicians are discovering the advantages of AI image generators. A few clicks, a few text entries, and you have a picture of a situation that never existed. Trump praying in church. Trump running from the police. Trump among African Americans.

All of these images either serve narratives that help Trump or ones that are intended to harm him. The image of the Christmas party suggests to black voters who helped get Joe Biden into office in 2020 that Trump is a sociable guy – perhaps also increasingly electable to African Americans?

Tech companies made an empty promise

The example shows that social networks have not yet found a mechanism to label computer-generated images as such. In mid-February, twenty tech companies promised a coordinated approach to detect fakes in connection with elections, including representatives of arch-rivals Instagram, Tiktok, X and YouTube.

When announcing the agreement, they chose drastic words: “Deepfakes are a new and major threat to democracy,” said a Microsoft employee. “As soon as you doubt everything you see, democracy has a problem,” said one from Adobe. And the Open AI representative said: “We are in a historic election year. It’s about time [für ein koordiniertes Vorgehen].»

Little has happened since the announcement: artificially generated images are still being distributed on social networks without an AI label or warning. Many of them, like Trump’s photo, can quickly be revealed as fake upon closer inspection – but not all of them.

For example, in a case from the National Council elections in Slovakia in September. An audio file, supposedly a recording of a telephone conversation, spread on social networks. In it, Michal Simecka, the leader of the liberal party “Progressive Slovakia”, explains to a confidant, that he was manipulating the election.

The very well faked audio file was published two days before the election, at a time when Slovak media traditionally no longer report on the elections.

Between Trump’s cheap fake and Simecka’s deepfake, there is a wide range of more or less well-made fakes. No matter how quickly they are exposed, they all have an effect. After all, we know from psychological research that images have a stronger effect on feelings than text and that
