Description: Rep. Mike Collins's congressional campaign allegedly created and posted an AI-generated video that purportedly used Sen. Jon Ossoff's portrait and synthetic voice to falsely depict him supporting the ongoing government shutdown. The video was reportedly shared on the campaign's X account with a limited disclaimer. Georgia Democrats criticized the deepfake as misleading, and the campaign reportedly indicated it would continue using similar AI tactics.

Variants
A "variant" is an AI incident similar to a known case—it has the same causes, harms, and AI system. Instead of listing it separately, we group it under the first reported incident. Unlike other incidents, variants do not need to have been reported outside the AIID. Learn more from the research paper.
