Election Interference

Nation-state actors are using increasingly sophisticated techniques, including AI-generated content, to interfere in democratic elections.

Detailed Analysis

Election interference remains a significant threat, with nation-state actors employing a range of tactics to manipulate public opinion and undermine democratic processes. The use of AI-generated content, such as deepfakes and synthetic media, is a growing concern, as it can be used to spread disinformation and manipulate voters. Protecting the integrity of elections requires a collective effort from governments, technology companies, and civil society.
