Reform UK Faces Scrutiny Over Alleged AI-Generated Candidates, Including Mark Matlock
Jul 8, 2024, 02:46 PM
Reform UK is under scrutiny following allegations that some of its election candidates may not be real people. Reports suggest that certain candidates, such as Mark Matlock, used AI-generated photos and text in their campaigns. Concerns were raised when candidates were found to have blank profiles on the Reform UK website, and some were identified as living far from their constituencies, including Liverpool. While Matlock, a candidate for Clapham & Brixton Hill, confirmed he is a real person, the controversy has sparked calls for an investigation into the legitimacy of Reform UK's candidates. The story was initially reported by Byline Times.
