Politicians were dealt a warning this morning about the potential disruptive power of AI in the next general election.<\/p>\n
Labour aides were forced to deny that Sir Keir Starmer had been recorded losing his temper in a sweary outburst as a video went viral that sounded exactly like him.<\/p>\n
In the video posted on X, over a din “Keir Starmer” could be heard ranting: \u201cThat f***ing tablet. F***s sake, I literally told you didn\u2019t I? F***s sake.<\/p>\n
\u201cBloody moron. No, I\u2019m sick of it, I\u2019m sick of it, I\u2019m f***ing sick of it. Every single time!<\/p>\n
\u201cJust shut your f***ing mouth. F***ing idiot.\u201d<\/p>\n

However, as it has accrued more than 764,000 views on the Elon Musk-owned platform at the time of writing, they eventually issued a categorical denial.<\/p>\n Former Labour MP George Galloway was one X user seemingly sucked into believing that the recording was real.<\/p>\n This afternoon top Tory Sir Simon Clarke came to Sir Keir Starmer\u2019s rescue, telling his followers to \u201cignore\u201d the deep fake video.<\/p>\n He added that it\u2019s a \u201creminder why the upcoming AI summit organised by the Prime Minister is so important\u201d.<\/p>\n He said: \u201cFrom the Slovakian elections a few days ago to today\u2019s incident, this is a new threat to democracy.\u201d<\/p>\n Don’t miss… <\/strong> We use your sign-up to provide content in ways you’ve consented to and to improve our understanding of you.

That\u2019s why the Defending Democracy Taskforce and the work the PM is doing on AI are critical for protecting us all”.<\/p>\n Politicians across the world are concerned about the impact deepfake videos can and will have in upcoming elections.<\/p>\n Senior Fellow at the Brookings Institution\u2019s Centre for Technology Innovation, Darrel West, has warned that voters in the US will find it \u201cvery difficult\u2026 to distinguish the real from the fake\u201d.<\/p>\n He said: \u201cYou could just imagine how either Trump supporters or Biden supporters could use this technology to make the opponent look bad.<\/p>\n “There could be things that drop right before the election that nobody has a chance to take down.”<\/p>\n Rishi Sunak will host a global AI summit from Bletchley Park in early November.<\/p>\n International governments, AI companies and research experts will unite for what the Government has described as \u201ccrucial talks\u201d on the \u201csafe development and use of frontier AI technology\u201d.<\/p>\n Mr Sunak said: \u201cThe UK has long been home to the transformative technologies of the future, so there is no better place to host the first-ever global AI safety summit than at Bletchley Park this November.<\/p>\n \u201cTo fully embrace the extraordinary opportunities of artificial intelligence, we must grip and tackle the risks to ensure it develops safely in the years ahead.<\/p>\n \u201cWith the combined strength of our international partners, thriving AI industry and expert academic community, we can secure the rapid international action we need for the safe and responsible development of AI around the world.\u201d<\/p>\n
