Wisconsin Supreme Court candidate Brad Shimel responds to the complaint of ethics regarding AD – Wbay

Green Bay, wis. (WBay) – The conservative, who is running for an open place in the Supreme Court of Wisconsin, has denied that artificial intelligence has been used in advertising, changing the face of the face of his liberal opponent. This accusation is now at the center of the complaint filed with the two -party Ethics Committee of Wisconsin.

Wisconsin’s law requires a disclosure in A-manipulated political advertisements, and the complaint filed by Dane Susan Crawford County Judge suggests that the County Judge’s campaign of Woker Brad Shimel has failed to do so.

The winner of the high bet on April 1 will determine whether the Wisconsin Supreme Court remains under a liberal majority or focuses on conservative control.

The advertising of the Campaign in Shimel begins and ends with a black and white image of Crawford with closed lips. An almost identical color image of her running in 2018 for the Denn District Court shows Crowford with a wide smile on her face. Shimel’s campaign admits that the image has changed but not using AI.

If no AI use is revealed, it brings a $ 1,000 fine.

“There were no AI, so there is no problem or a problem under the law. This is a desperate distraction, ”Shimel said. “The explanation deals with the fact that she does not want to have an old photo of her smile while talking about her to make a bad decision in her past. This is the thinking of the people who produce the video. “

Crowford’s campaign released a statement saying :: “We are grateful that the Wisconsin Ethics Committee seriously accepts this deceived and manipulated image. The Wisconsinites have long seen Brad Shimel’s shady and corruption when giving an agreement on the legal basis of a children’s predator after accepting thousands in campaigns in cash from the man’s lawyer to leave more than 6,000 rape kits to sit unverified for Two years while the victims were waiting for justice. We urge the Ethics Committee to study this question in detail what platforms and systems the Schimel campaign uses to manipulate this image, and to determine if it is in violation of the Wisconsin law in 2023, which requires the discovery of AI-manipulated images. Wisconsinitis deserves better than fake advertising, using deceptive and artificially altered content. “
