DOJ claims it can't release Biden-Hur interview due to threat of AI deepfakes

[FoxNews] The Justice Department cannot release audio from President Biden's interview with Special Counsel Robert Hur due to the threat of potential deepfakes, the DOJ argued in a Friday court filing.

The filing came as part of a legal challenge against Biden's efforts to exercise executive privilege over the recording to keep it from the public. The DOJ acknowledged in its Friday filing that there is already enough public audio available to create AI deepfakes of both Biden and Hur, but it said releasing the true recording would make it more difficult to disprove any false versions.

"The passage of time and advancements in audio, artificial intelligence, and ‘deep fake’ technologies only amplify concerns about malicious manipulation of audio files. If the audio recording is released here, it is easy to foresee that it could be improperly altered, and that the altered file could be passed off as an authentic recording and widely distributed," the department wrote.

Associate Deputy Attorney General Bradley Weinsheimer wrote in the filing that releasing the tape would "make it far more likely that malicious actors could pass off a deepfake as the authentic recording."

Thank you DOJ....

Because, you have in as much nullified video evidence against every Jan 6th defendant. Because now the DOJ itself has acknowledged that even Gov's Videos could have been AI enhanced or even created.

#7 So wouldn't the way to refute any deep fakes be to release the genuine article under the DOJ imprimatur?

#9 Re #8: Back when I had a clearance, I was always taught that things were supposed to be classified because of the harm that they would do to the UNITED STATES. They were not supposed to because they would cause embarrassment to someone.
I realize that principal was not always followed.

#10 Well here's the news, Jack, he's setting up a scrum from his professional Rugby days.

I have been told, specifically, that if handed a FOIA Request it can't be refused because it may be embarrassing to the organization.

And I'll put a dollar down that if there were to be a 'Deep Fake' from the footage, it will be to make Brandon look better.
