Foreign Actors Use AI to Influence US Election Process

The US faces a significant threat to its electoral process from foreign actors using advanced artificial intelligence to influence American voters. Russia remains the most active foreign threat, aiming to erode trust in democratic institutions and exacerbate sociopolitical divisions. Other countries, including China and Iran, are also attempting to sway voters, making the threat landscape complex. The rise of AI has made it possible to create realistic "deepfakes" that target candidates and are difficult to attribute. Officials are working together to protect the electoral process, but concerns remain about combating disinformation and maintaining credibility. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/tonyphoang/message
