Deepfakes, a high-profile category of AI-generated content, have received widespread attention in connection with the upcoming U.S. presidential election.  Two recent examples involving celebrity Taylor Swift demonstrate the intersection between AI-generated content, politics, and intellectual property rights:

• An AI-generated image of Taylor Swift dressed as Uncle Sam, accompanied by the message "Taylor wants YOU to VOTE for DONALD TRUMP."

• AI-generated images of women wearing "Swifties for Trump" T-shirts.
