Experts say it’s only the beginning::Days before a pivotal election in Slovakia to determine who would lead the country, a damning audio recording spread online in which one of the top candidates seemingly boasted about how he’d rigged the election.

    How do we know it’s fake, and he’s not just claiming it’s fake? Unless I missed it the article doesn’t seem to cover that.

    IMCO people claiming real recordings are AI fakes is going to be a bigger problem than actual fakes.

      IMCO

      I’m not familiar with this one. I assume “in my concerned opinion” but I really want it to be “in my cumble opinion”

      You might be kidding, but the answer is: The outcome plus Occam’s Razor.

      a candidate saying he’d rigged the election

      the candidate…was defeated

      Which is more likely, that he was recorded while lying about rigging the election that he ended up losing or that the recording was faked?

        He could just be really bad at rigging elections!

        I guess I missed that rather obvious conclusion while I was looking for some technical explanation, thanks for pointing that out.

          No worries.

          I do agree with you that we’re likely to see just as many (if not more) guilty politicians claiming AI fakes when they’re caught red-handed as we will see framed politicians targeted with actual AI fakes. Just not in this case.
