'Beware my power': White House shares AI-generated video of Trump as Green Lantern

The White House has embraced AI-generated content as a campaign tool, releasing a video that depicts Donald Trump as the superhero Green Lantern—a striking departure from traditional political messaging that signals how aggressively the administration is testing the boundaries of synthetic media in electoral politics. The move, which drew coverage from outlets across the political spectrum, raises urgent questions about the role of deepfakes and artificial imagery in the 2024 race, even as regulators and lawmakers scramble to establish guardrails around AI's use in elections. What was meant as a lighthearted appeal to pop culture audiences instead exposed how quickly institutional acceptance of AI video can outpace public trust in what they're seeing on screen.
