The next US election could see a flood of AI-generated campaigning posters after candidates in Argentina used it to promote themselves and attack their opponent. Sergio Massa and Javier Milei are battling for the presidency and are harnessing the power of artificial intelligence in hopes of one-upping the other. Massa recreated himself in several scenes where he sports military metals, surrounded by hundreds of people looking up at him in hope while pushing out a video showing Javier as a character in the film Clockwork Orange. But the far-right libertarian economist did not sit back quietly - he used AI to create Massa in the form of a Chinese communist leader. Argentina's digital posters follow those created by US officials this year, such as a video from Ron DeSantis of Florida's campaign which featured a video showing Donald Trump embracing Anthony Fauci.

Haywood Talcove, CEO of LexisNexis Risk Solutions Government Group, tells Fox News Digital that criminal groups, mostly in other countries, are advertising on social media to market their AI capabilities for fraud and other crimes. Google is set to require political advertising that uses artificial intelligence to generate images or sounds come with a visible disclosure for users. "AI-generated content should absolutely be disclosed in political advertisements. Not doing so leaves the American people open to misleading and predatory campaign ads," Ziven Havens, the Policy Director at the Bull Moose Project, told Fox News Digital. "In the absence of government action, we support the creation of new rulemaking to handle the new frontier of technology before it becomes a major problem" Havens' comments come after Google revealed last week that it will start requiring the disclosure of the use of AI to alter images in political ads starting in November, a little more than a year before the 2024 election, according to a PBS report.

The row over a manipulated photo of Rishi Sunak pulling an imperfect pint is the latest example of doctored or deepfake images attempting to disrupt politics. Using false information or imagery to alter public opinion is not new but breakthroughs in artificial intelligence threaten to take deception to a new level. Here are some recent examples of image-based disinformation. Last year a video appeared of the Ukrainian president calling on his soldiers to lay down their weapons and return to their families. It was an amateurish example of a deepfake, the term for a hoax that uses AI to create a phoney image, most commonly fake videos of people.

The 2024 US Presidential race is heating up, and the candidates along with their supporters have a new weapon at their disposal: Artificial intelligence tools, which can easily generate realistic images and voices. As Semafor reports, the DeSantis War Room has shared images showing Donald Trump embracing Dr. Anthony Fauci, who became a controversial figure to conservatives following the COVID-19 pandemic. The short clip compares Trump as a reality TV star firing people in The Apprentice with the "real life Trump" who apparently refused to fire the doctor. While the video was marked on Twitter with a warning that says three of the still shots showing Trump embracing Fauci are "AI generated images," some people could believe they were real. DeSantis' camp didn't deny that they weren't real photos, but it didn't explicitly say that either.

Bluestack Strategies founder and Principal Maura Gillespie and former Manchin Communications Director Jonathan Kott discuss the 2024 presidential primaries, the growing list of Republican candidates and voter concerns over President Biden's age. The Donald Trump and Ron DeSantis camps are trading blows after the Florida governor's 2024 campaign debuted an AI-generated image depicting the former president hugging Dr. Anthony Fauci. It's also further fueling concerns about how AI "deepfakes" of altered video, photos or audio portraying candidates saying and doing things they did not could affect the 2024 campaign. This stunt had the'please clap' energy of Ron DeSanctimonious' mentor, Jeb Bush," a Trump campaign adviser told Fox News Digital of the images. One of Trump's most vocal allies in the Senate, freshman Sen. JD Vance, R-Ohio, tweeted on Thursday, "Smearing Donald Trump with fake AI images is completely unacceptable.

After 38 years as the head of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, Dr. Anthony Fauci announced on Monday that he will be stepping down from his role in December. Appointed to the position in 1984 by then-president Ronald Reagan, Fauci has personally overseen the federal government's response to some of the 20th century's deadliest infectious diseases -- from tuberculosis and COVID to SARS and MERS. But, as he told The Guardian in 2020, "my career and my identity has really been defined by HIV." The prevention and treatment of HIV has been a prioritized area of research for the NIAID since 1986, and one that Dr. Fauci has devoted much of his public service to. The current state of AIDS research and response in America is thanks in no small part to his continued efforts in the field.

EMILY COMPAGNO, FOX NEWS CHANNEL HOST: I know what you're thinking. Greg's never looked at this good in a dress. Like a tiny Ghost of Christmas Present, because I'm celebrating the holiday today. Because this year COVID robbed me of Christmas with my family. COVID robbed us of our studio audience. And it robbed me of my Christmas Eve Feast of the Seven Fishes. So to make up for it, we are having a feast tonight. COMPAGNO: In New Year's Eve news, Omicron fear mongers are warning people to stay away from New York's Times Square celebration. Even though previous crowds were exposed to something much worse. Thank God it'll be me hosting in Time Square this year. See you at 10:00 p.m. Eastern on Fox News. Germany's also banned large group gatherings. But you know who's never bans large gatherings of Germans? China's Wuhan Institute of virology recently hosted a conference on lab safety, to which the world responded a little (BLEEP) late, guys. In a recent segment on COVID Safety, CNN's Dr. Leana Wen admitted cloth masks don't stop transmission of the virus. Today in New York Mayor Bill de Blasio said he doesn't believe in shutdowns despite having shut down the city for months. He then added "I also oppose letting criminals roam free to murder people." Chris Tucker turned down a $10 million payday for a sequel to the awesome movie Friday, saying he's too mature to be seen behaving badly on screen anymore.

Here's what you need to know as you start your day Fauci says'hopefully' making young kids wear masks won't have'lasting negative impact' White House Chief Health Adviser Dr. Anthony Fauci said Monday that "hopefully" making young kids wear face masks won't have any "lasting negative impact" on them. During an interview with conservative radio host Hugh Hewitt, Fauci said it's important to keep an "open mind" about masking after the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommended that unvaccinated children ages 2 and older wear masks and that students wear masks in all K-12 schools, regardless of vaccination status, in light of the rapid spread of the COVID-19 delta variant. "It's not comfortable, obviously, for children to wear masks, particularly the younger children," he said. "But you know, what we're starting to see, Hugh, and I think it's going to unfold even more as the weeks go by, that this virus not only is so extraordinarily transmissible, but we're starting to see pediatric hospitals get more and more younger people and kids not only numerically, but what seems to be more severe disease. "Now we're tracking that, the CDC is tracking that really very carefully, so it's going to be a balance that we would feel very badly if we all of a sudden said OK, kids, don't wear masks, then you find out retrospectively that this virus in a very, very strange and unusual way is really hitting kids really hard," he continued. "But hopefully, this will be a temporary thing, temporary enough that it doesn't have any lasting negative impact on them." Hewitt pushed back, citing an editorial Sunday by The Wall Street Journal, titled, "The Case Against Masks for Children," which argues that long-term masking can cause physical and developmental issues in children and that there's little evidence to back up a mandate. "Facial expressions are integral to human connection, particularly for younger children who are only learning how to signal fear, confusion and happiness," Hewitt said. "Covering a child's face mutes these nonverbal forms of communication, can result in robotic and emotionless interaction.
