As Election Day approaches, state election officials are increasingly concerned about the threats posed by artificial intelligence (AI) and deepfake technology. Arizona Secretary of State Adrian Fontes highlighted the need for election officials to train against potential AI-driven misinformation, including deepfake videos that could mislead voters by mimicking voices or creating false narratives about polling disruptions. A recent Fortinet report underscores the cyber threats arising from various actors, including cybercriminals leveraging AI for phishing attacks and misinformation campaigns. Additionally, experts stress the importance of public awareness regarding deepfakes, urging voters to critically evaluate media content they encounter online. With the Global Engagement Center facing uncertainty over its future, US counter-propaganda capabilities could further diminish, complicating efforts to combat disinformation. Overall, the combination of AI, deepfakes, and cyber threats presents a multi-faceted risk to the integrity of the upcoming elections.
