When journalist Julia Mengolini criticized her country&rsquo;s president, Javier Milei, she didn&rsquo;t expect to be targeted with one of the more disturbing uses of AI: a pornographic deepfake video designed to humiliate her. What began as trolling by online extremists spiraled into a government-amplified smear campaign, spurred on by senior officials and the president himself.
Juila tells reporter/producer Zach St. Louis what happened to her and what she&rsquo;s doing to fight back against President Milei &ndash; an ally of Donald Trump&rsquo;s and Elon Musk&rsquo;s.&nbsp;&nbsp;
