Elon Musk has landed himself in hot water once again after he shared on X (formerly named Twitter) an AI-generated image of Kamala Harris as a communist dictator. The post, titled "Kamala vows to be a communist dictator on day one. Can you believe she wears that outfit!?" stirred much furor online.
Musk's post also referenced a tweet from Harris featuring Donald Trump with the caption, "Donald Trump vows to be a dictator on day one." Harris had responded, "We won't let him."
This Elon Musk vs Kamala Harris incident not only stirs debate over AI ethics but also raises questions about responsible uses of digital media.
Reactions on X were unforgiving. The users attacked Musk for sharing misleading and hazardous content. Critics say AI-generated images have the potential to further misinformation and contribute to a divisive political climate. This backlash includes several calls for accountability and greater scrutiny of how public figures use AI technology.
The outrage for public scrutiny is warranted in light of events like the metaverse gang-rape of a girl gamer, and the leakage of AI-generated nude images of Taylor Swift, among others, which shows how much potential harm could be caused by misusing AI technology and the need for an urgent call for regulations on AI-generated images.

These controversies bring into sharp focus the need for serious legal frameworks that deal with AI-generated content misuse. They require the development of comprehensive ethical guidelines and technological safeguards for data privacy and morality.
The ongoing rapid development in the field of AI also calls for AI ethics and protection laws. It would require more investments in detection technologies to reduce digital integrity threats attributed to AI-generated images and content.
