Canada Warns Deepfakes Threaten Election Integrity

Canadian officials and researchers are warning this week that sophisticated AI-generated content, including deepfakes, is increasingly threatening elections and democratic discourse. At a House of Commons hearing on Tuesday, officials including Nathalie Drouin and David Morrison said Ottawa is "very concerned" and is developing AI safety standards while offering briefings to parliamentarians. Experts recommend annual training, platform labeling, and expanded public education to counter foreign interference.
