00:00Wired reports Russia-affiliated disinformation network Doppelganger spread an anti-Biden
00:06video on X with the aid of generative AI.
00:09The Bye Bye Biden video parodies US presidential candidates Joe Biden and Donald Trump.
00:15It depicts Biden as a senile old man who rides wheelchairs, wears diapers, and can't steer
00:20a bicycle.
00:21The video also parrots false allegations that Trump's votes in the 2020 elections were stolen
00:26and paints Biden as a corrupt politician.
00:29An actor plays the role of the two whose features were made to look like the rivals using AI.
00:34Analysis by anti-Botford Navalny reveals the video reached 6.5 million users and was seen
00:40by 5 million.
00:42The group also finds 4,000 posts promoting the video using a network of 25,000 X accounts.
00:48Wired writes,
00:49As the Kremlin ramps up efforts to undermine the U.S. election in November, it is clear
00:53that Russia is willing to utilize AI technologies.
