Polislop keeps score on political AI ads

polislop.org Observed source

Editorial interest 86/100 Selection signal · not a rating of the site

A sourced ledger of US political advertisements that use AI to depict real people, with a published 1–5 deception rubric.

Landing page captured for the 2026-09-15 issue.

Field notes

The project evaluates how political advertisements depict real people with AI, assigning a 1–5 deception score against a published rubric rather than judging the truth of the ads’ political claims. Its sourcing standard requires two independent reputable sources per record, and its provenance system distinguishes official campaign accounts, archives, reporting, and human review. Provisional entries can change when an unresolved rubric input is settled.
