Fine Gael had to report AI deepfake videos of presidential candidate Heather Humphreys to social media giant Meta, which owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp.
The video was being used by fraudsters and purported to show Ms Humphreys promoting a high-return investment scheme. The content was entirely fabricated and made with AI-driven voice and image cloning.
