“Queenslanders between now and October will have to question everything they see from the LNP and ask whether it is real or a deepfake,” he said.

He guaranteed the Queensland Labor Party had no plans to use AI-generated videos for electoral advertising.

But the LNP’s Queensland branch defended the post, saying it was clearly labelled as AI.

“Young Queenslanders have been hit with higher rents and increased power prices under Labor, and this post – which is clearly labelled as being created with AI – is an example of one way we can share that message,” a spokesperson said.

Miles argued that most people would miss the disclaimer when scrolling.

The LNP spokesperson said Labor had also uploaded AI-generated videos to social media.

“Steven Miles knows AI is a tool commonly used by many creators on this platform, and [he] knows his own party has used it,” the spokesperson said.

The use of AI during elections has raised questions about integrity globally amid fears it will generate misinformation.

In a submission to an inquiry into the technology this year, the Australian Electoral Commission said it was focused on the potential impact of AI on “electoral integrity and citizen trust”.
