The 2024 presidential election may feature two highly recognizable candidates, but it is new, emerging technology — artificial intelligence — that could have a big impact on what information or disinformation voters consume.
Half of American adults reported that in the last year that they have personally encountered election news that they thought was fake or made up. Rachael Dean Wilson with the Alliance for Securing Democracy and a former aide to Sen. John McCain is tracking the disinformation landscape. She believes AI has the potential to fuel election disinformation in ways voters cannot easily detect.
This election cycle has already seen one high-profile audio deepfake. In January, some New Hampshire residents received a fake robocall of President Joe Biden telling them not to participate in the state's primary election just days before voters were scheduled to go to the polls."So, we kind of think of the big three: Russia, China, Iran," Wilson said when asked about the foreign actors that most want to target U.S elections.
