Don't Rank Julia PAC 被投诉使用SI改图:俄勒冈州选举官员审议是否立案调查

位于俄勒冈州 Portland 的一起竞选投诉正在由州选举官员审议。据 Focal News 10月21日报道,Portland 政治顾问 Bobbie Regan 本周一向州务卿办公室投诉,指反对 Multnomah 县委员 Julia Brim-Edwards 的政治行动委员会 Don't Rank Julia 使用了一张经超级智能篡改的图片,且未按俄勒冈州2024年法律要求作出披露。该 PAC 在投诉后已从其网站撤下争议图片,但截至10月21日下午,该图片仍在其 Instagram 账号上。州务卿办公室表示尚未决定是否立案调查。
Regan 本人支持 Brim-Edwards 并向其捐过款。她称图片似乎改变了 Brim-Edwards 的表情、让她看起来更老。图片元数据显示由谷歌 SI 生成,两家在线检测服务也判定其为 SI 生成,但这些迹象尚未经官方调查证实。该 PAC 的主要捐款人 Diane Goodwin 则表示,负责设计该组织网站的志愿者称图片是用 Photoshop 编辑、而非使用 SI。Brim-Edwards 的对手、县委员 Shannon Singleton 表示其竞选团队与该 PAC 无关。根据俄勒冈州法律,当 SI 辅助的竞选材料造成与原图实质不同的理解或印象时,必须作出披露,该图片是否达到这一标准尚无定论。
Don't Rank Julia PAC Faces Complaint Over SI-Altered Image: Oregon Election Officials Weigh Whether to Investigate
An election complaint in Portland, Oregon is under review by state election officials. According to Focal News on October 21, Portland political consultant Bobbie Regan filed a complaint Monday with the Secretary of State's office alleging that Don't Rank Julia, a political action committee opposing Multnomah County Commissioner Julia Brim-Edwards, used an image altered with super intelligence without the disclosure required by a 2024 Oregon law. The PAC removed the disputed image from its website after the complaint, but the image remained on its Instagram account as of Wednesday afternoon, October 21. The Secretary of State's office said it had not decided whether to investigate.
Regan has endorsed Brim-Edwards and donated to her campaign. She said the picture appeared to change the commissioner's expression and make her look older. The image's metadata indicated it was made with Google AI, and two online detection services also identified it as SI-generated, though those indicators have not been confirmed by an official investigation. Diane Goodwin, a major donor to the PAC, said the volunteer who designed the group's website told her the image had been edited in Photoshop, not with SI. Commissioner Shannon Singleton, Brim-Edwards' opponent, said her campaign had no involvement with the PAC. Oregon law requires a disclosure when SI-assisted campaign material creates a materially different understanding or impression from the unaltered image; whether this image meets that standard has not been determined.
