Full Article

The 2024 election is facing a significant threat from AI-generated deepfakes and misinformation. Experts predict a surge in deceptive content, particularly in the final hours leading up to the election. With foreign actors potentially involved, officials are urging voters to remain vigilant against misleading information online.

Federal agencies are relying on tech companies and state governments to combat the spread of AI-infused disinformation. Despite previous efforts to address misinformation, many tech firms have scaled back their initiatives since January 6. As the election approaches, the lack of federal regulations leaves voters exposed to a barrage of deceptive content.
