Generative AI poses threat to election security, federal intelligence agencies warn
CBSN
Generative artificial intelligence could threaten election security this November, intelligence agencies warned in a new federal bulletin.
Generative AI uses images, audio, video and code to create new content, like so-called "deep fake" videos in which a person is made to look like they're saying something they never said.
Both foreign and domestic actors could harness the technology to create serious challenges heading into the 2024 election cycle, according to the analysis compiled by the Department of Homeland Security and sent to law enforcement partners nationwide. Federal bulletins are infrequent messages to law enforcement partners, meant to call attention to specific threats and concerns.
