Jokowi deepfakes? Fears grow over AI-generated election hoaxes


JAKARTA (The Jakarta Post/Asia News Network): Aditya Ilyas Saputra, lead guitarist of the band Soegi Borneon, was amused when he heard that President Joko 'Jokowi' Widodo had covered the band’s hit single, 'Asmalibrasi', only to learn that it was in fact the work of artificial intelligence (AI).

“I was surprised, thinking that Pak Jokowi was actually singing the song ‘Asmalibrasi’, but it turns out it was produced by AI,” he said as quoted by insertlive.com.
