By Amrith RamkumarJune 14, 2026 10:00 pm ETWASHINGTON\u2014Political campaigns are employing artificial intelligence in a range of campaign ads to elevate candidates and attack opponents, fueling concerns that the wave of fake content will undermine the midterm elections.In recent weeks, one video portrayed Texas Senate candidate James Talarico singing a rendition of \u201cMy Favorite Things\u201d praising transgender children, while another showed Mike Rogers, a Michigan Senate hopeful, as a Hulk-like figure rescuing people from a collapsing building. There also was a viral video of Los Angeles mayoral candidate\u00a0Spencer Pratt as Batman saving the city from an incumbent depicted as the Joker.Copyright \u00a92026 Dow Jones & Company, Inc.
