CARROLL COUNTY, Md. (WBFF) — A Carroll County Republican primary candidate’s supporter posted an AI-generated video of Kamala Harris appearing to endorse his opponent days after a new Maryland law targeting election deepfakes took effect — raising immediate questions about whether the post violates the law.
In a Thursday news release, Carroll County State’s Attorney candidate Allan Culver condemned the video, which was posted to Facebook on Wednesday by a supporter of George Psoras, who is on the Republican primary ballot along with Culver for the state’s attorney’s office.
Anthony Birdsong, chair of the super PAC “Small Businesses of Carroll County,” which supports Psoras, posted the video on his personal Facebook page, he said, and it was meant as political satire.
“It was very obviously AI satire, which is allowed in political campaigns,” Birdsong said.
