Officials warn of communication gaps as AI aids foreign election influence
Original: Officials see gaps in election communications as AI makes foreign influence easier
US election and cybersecurity officials say there are gaps in how government agencies communicate with the public about elections, a problem they say is growing more urgent as artificial intelligence makes it cheaper and easier for foreign actors to produce convincing disinformation. The warning comes as authorities prepare safeguards ahead of upcoming vote cycles, with concern focused on AI-generated fake audio, video and text that can spread rapidly before officials can respond.
Why now: Concern is rising that AI-generated disinformation by foreign actors could exploit gaps in official election communication.
