  • This is in conversation from Apple News.

  • I'm Brian Stelter filling in for Shamita Basu.

  • Today, America's disinformation problem, how it affects all of us and what we should do about it.

  • Earlier this year, just ahead of the New Hampshire primary,

  • some voters in the state received a robocall that sounded like it was coming from President Biden.

  • Voting this Tuesday only enables the Republicans in their quest to elect Donald Trump again.

  • Your vote makes a difference in November, not just Tuesday.

  • That was not a call from Biden or his campaign.

  • It was an AI generated impersonation of Biden's voice.

  • This sort of stuff is happening all the time.

  • Just a couple of weeks ago,

  • images circulated on social media that appeared to show Donald Trump with black voters.

  • But BBC reporters noticed something strange.

  • It looks

  • like they're at a party all great

  • until you realize there's lots of strange things going on with fingers,

  • which is one of the best ways to spot AI.

  • People are missing a finger or they have lots of extra fingers.

  • Disinformation has been a problem in American life for decades,

  • but it's getting more and more intense now with an election coming up
