North Carolina Republicans have released an AI-generated political advertisement depicting a Democratic candidate slow dancing with a drag queen, in what represents a notable use of artificial intelligence in electoral campaigning.

The digitally created video was produced and distributed by the state's Republican Party, using AI technology to generate imagery of the Democratic candidate in a scenario that did not occur in reality.

The ad is the latest example of AI-generated content being deployed in political campaigns to portray opponents in controversial or unflattering situations, raising questions about the use of synthetic media in election advertising.
