The video attracted attention after tech billionaire Elon Musk shared it on social network X on the evening of July 26 without specifying that the original purpose was to mock.
The video uses images of Ms Harris released last week when she launched her campaign. However, the voice in the video is changed to one that convincingly resembles her.
"I, Kamala Harris, am the Democratic nominee for president because Joe Biden finally showed his confusion at the debate," the voice in the video says. The video claims that Ms. Harris is the Democratic nominee only because she is a woman and a person of color, and says she doesn't know "the first thing about running a country."

“We believe the American people want the real freedom, opportunity, and security that Vice President Harris delivers; not the fake, manipulated lies of Elon Musk,” said Mia Ehrenberg, a spokeswoman for Harris’ campaign.
The video above is an example of how AI technology is being used to mock and mislead politics, especially as the US moves closer to the presidential election. It shows that, as high-quality AI tools become more accessible, there are still significant gaps in how they are used.
Two experts specializing in AI-generated media reviewed the audio of the fake video and confirmed that much of the content was created using AI technology.
One of them, digital forensics expert Hany Farid from the University of California, Berkeley, said the video shows the power of generative AI and deepfakes.
"The AI-generated voice is very good. While most people wouldn't believe it was Vice President Harris' voice, the video is still very convincing in that the speech is exactly like her," he said.
AI companies that create voice transcription tools and other AI tools should do better to ensure their services are not used in ways that could harm the public, he said.
Rob Weissman, co-chair of the advocacy group Public Citizen, disagreed with Farid, saying he thought many people would be misled by the video.
