When political parties use AI images they need to label them, according to the EU AI Act. More fundamentally they should ask themselves if they really want to contribute to the authenticity blur. I comment on a recent case in Danish politics here @ddc-sdu.bsky.social www.dr.dk/nyheder/poli...

De to unge mænd ser virkelige ud på Danmarksdemokraternes billede - problemet er, at det er de ikke

Det burde fremgå af billedet, at det er skabt af kunstig intelligens, vurderer to eksperter.
