More than 50 countries are due to hold national elections in 2024... and AI is a big concern. Tech companies are putting safeguards on their own generative AI tools that can manipulate images and sound, while also working to identify and label AI-generated content so that social media users know if what they're seeing is real. #artificialintelligence #ai #politics #technology #election #fraud ABC News The Associated Press

Alaska Beacon reports on states combating AI threat #electionsecurity 🤝 Follow us on Discord 🔜: https://lnkd.in/gt823Zd3 🤝 Follow us on Whatsapp 🔜 https://wapia.in/wabeta _ ❇️ Summary: Generative AI is being used to create political deepfakes, raising concerns about voter deception in the upcoming presidential election. While Congress has not taken action, states are passing laws to combat AI-generated disinformation. However, there are loopholes in some of these laws, such as limitations on criminal penalties and coverage only for generative AI content. Experts recommend broader laws covering all synthetic content and anticipate the need for evolving solutions to address the evolving threat of AI-generated disinformation in elections.

And another way in which unchecked #genai can threaten our democracy. Hallucinating chatbots and distorted search results. The threat is not from sentient 'Skynet' AI. It is from AI that corrupts our trust in any content posted online. We need to invest in governance, trust, and safety that mitigates against risk and nefarious uses. #aisafety #responsibleai #aiethics #electionsecurity

Access to this page has been denied: A deepfake robocall resembling President Biden stirred concerns about AI manipulation in U.S. elections, prompting calls for regulation. With AI's ability to deceive voters and replicate candidates, experts warn of rising distrust. While the FEC reviews rules to address deepfakes, Congressional action is seen as crucial. Private companies are also urged to enforce policies to counter AI election threats. - Artificial Intelligence topics! #ai #artificialintelligence #intelligenzaartificiale

Keeping AI Out of Elections – Communications of the ACM: The article discusses concerns about the potential impact of generative AI on the 2024 U.S. presidential election, addressing the dangers and potential mitigation strategies. Jennifer Golbeck, a computer science professor, highlights the failure of social media platforms to enforce their own policies and the subsequent reduction in misinformation after the Capitol attack. The Federal Election Commission is reviewing regulations to address AI-driven political campaigns, with calls for broader coverage. Vivek Krishnamurthy emphasizes the global impact of AI on elections and the challenges of regulating its use. He mentions the European Union's AI Act and the tech industry's initiative to combat AI interference. The need for a society-wide conversation and support for local journalism is also emphasized as a response to technological change.

The explosion of artificial-intelligence technology makes it easier than ever to deceive people on the internet, and is turning the 2024 U.S. presidential election into an unprecedented test on how to police deceptive content. An early salvo was fired last month in New Hampshire. Days before the state’s presidential primary, an estimated 5,000 to 25,000 calls went out telling recipients not to bother voting. “Your vote makes a difference in November, not this Tuesday,” the voice said. It sounded like President Biden, but it was created by AI, according to an analysis by security firm Pindrop. The message also discouraged independent voters from participating in the Republican primary. When Pindrop analyzed the audio, they found telltale signs the call was phony. Two weeks later, the New Hampshire attorney general’s office said it identified a Texas-based company named Life Corp. as the source of the calls and that it issued a cease-and-desist order citing the law against voter suppression. With recent advances in generative AI, virtually anyone can create increasingly convincing but fake images, audio and videos, as well as fictional social-media users and bots that appear human. Around 70 countries estimated to cover nearly half the world’s population—roughly four billion people—are set to hold national elections this year, according to the International Foundation for Electoral Systems. OpenAI Chief Executive Sam Altman said at a Bloomberg event in January during the World Economic Forum’s annual meeting in Davos, Switzerland, that while OpenAI is preparing safeguards, he’s still wary about how his company’s tech might be used in elections. “We’re going to have to watch this incredibly closely this year,” Altman said. OpenAI says it is prohibiting the use of its tools for political campaigning; encoding details about the provenance of images generated by its Dall-E tool; and addressing questions about how and where to vote in the U.S. with a link to CanIVote.org, operated by the National Association of Secretaries of State. People who’ve studied elections debate how much an AI deepfake could actually sway someone’s vote, especially in America where most people say they’ve likely already decided who they’ll support for president. Yet the very possibility of AI-generated fakes could also muddy the waters in a different way by leading people to question even real images and recordings. Social-media giants have been struggling for years with questions around political content. In 2020, they went to aggressive lengths to police political discourse, partly in response to reports of Russian interference in the U.S. election four years earlier. Since his 2022 acquisition of Twitter, Elon Musk has renamed the site X and rolled back many of its previous restrictions in the name of free speech.
