Vikki Goodwin, a candidate for Lt. Governor in Texas, has filed a police complaint against her opponent Dan Patrick, alleging that he violated the law with AI-generated campaign ads that include deepfake videos depicting her. Goodwin reported multiple instances of misleading social media content to law enforcement, which she claims misrepresent her image. The controversy escalates as Patrick has incorporated branding from three Texas universities in his ads, despite limitations set by those institutions on the use of their brands in political campaigns.
