Deepfake ad of Colorado state senator prompts first-of-its-kind court case

CBS News Colorado: A deepfake political ad is at the center of a precedent-setting court case in Colorado.

Deepfakes use artificial intelligence to generate fake images of a person that look and sound real.

The ad in question is in opposition to Proposition NN, which allows the state to keep money it would otherwise have to refund taxpayers and use it for education among other things.

Democratic state Sen. Cathy Kipp sponsored the bill that put Prop NN on the ballot. She insists it’s not a tax increase because taxpayers have already given the money to the state.
