In lieutenant governor race, Vikki Goodwin says Dan Patrick ads are illegal AI deepfakes
· KRGV (NBC 5)
State Representative Vikki Goodwin, a Democratic candidate for lieutenant governor, has filed a police report against Republican Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick, claiming his campaign released illegal AI-generated deepfake videos of her. Goodwin asserts that the videos misrepresent her actions and violate a Texas law prohibiting such content within 30 days of an election. She argues that the intent behind the videos was to mislead voters as early voting begins on October 19. Patrick's campaign responded, stating the videos were intended as parody and were removed after Goodwin's complaint, which she views as an acknowledgment of wrongdoing.
