Kari Lake released a statement this week calling out Ron DeSantis for his lies about President Trump and urging politicians to “pledge against using Artificial Intelligence in campaign ads.”
This comes after a DeSantis PAC dropped a new ad using AI to falsely accuse Trump of “attack[ing] Iowa.”
This is not the first time team DeSantis has used AI to lie about Trump. Previously, DeSantis came under fire after his campaign posted a collage with fake photos of President Trump embracing Dr. Fauci, calling it “Real Life Trump.”
The Gateway Pundit reported that Never Back Down, a super PAC supporting DeSantis, is about to drop over a million dollars on a cheesy ad featuring a fake AI-generated Trump audiotape, which falsely depicts him attacking Iowa Governor Kim Reynolds.

“The blatant use of AI to fabricate President Trump’s voice is a desperate attempt by Always Back Down and Jeff Roe to deceive the American public because they know DeSanctimonious’ campaign is on life support,” Trump campaign senior adviser Chris LaCivita told Politico.
Kari Lake released a statement on Tuesday denouncing this deceptive and desperate practice and urging Congress to pass legislation to safeguard against the abuse of AI for defamation purposes.
