Incident 12491 Report
Virginia Candidate John Reid Reportedly Used AI-Generated Deepfake of Opponent Ghazala Hashmi in Simulated Political Debate

2025-10-21

Republican Virginia lieutenant governor candidate John Reid reportedly held a 40-minute mock debate against a purportedly AI-generated version of Democratic opponent Sen. Ghazala Hashmi. The bot reportedly mimicked her voice and synthesized responses trained on her public statements. Hashmi's campaign denounced the non-consensual likeness as a "shoddy gimmick."
