Artificial intelligence (AI) is adding to the threat of election disinformation worldwide. 

人工智能 (AI) 正在加剧全球选举虚假信息的威胁。 

The technology makes it easy for anyone with a smartphone and an imagination to create fake – but convincing – content aimed at fooling voters. 

这项技术使任何拥有智能手机和想象力的人都可以轻松创建虚假但令人信服的内容，旨在愚弄选民。 

Just a few years ago, fake photos, videos or audio required teams of people with time, skill and money. Now, free and low-cost generative artificial intelligence services from companies like Google and OpenAI permit people to create high-quality “deepfakes” with just a simple text entry. 

就在几年前，伪造照片、视频或音频需要有时间、技能和金钱的团队。 现在，谷歌和 OpenAI 等公司提供的免费且低成本的生成人工智能服务允许人们只需输入简单的文本即可创建高质量的“深度赝品”。

A wave of AI deepfakes tied to elections in Europe and Asia has already appeared on social media for months. It served as a warning for more than 50 countries having elections this year. 

与欧洲和亚洲选举相关的人工智能深度造假浪潮已经在社交媒体上出现了几个月。 这给今年即将举行选举的 50 多个国家敲响了警钟。
