As deep fakes get easier and the truth gets murkier, how will AI impact the 2024 election?
We’re joined by election expert David Becker, the founder and Executive Director of the non-partisan and non-profit Center for Election Innovation & Research. David is also the co-author of “The Big Truth: Upholding Democracy in the Age of The Big Lie.’”
David breaks down the many aspects of AI and the 2024 election, including: The current state of play of election integrity and why they’re more secure than you might think (5:15); what most concerns him about how AI-enabled mischief could muck things up (14:30); how deep fakes could cause problems (21:00); why disinformation could be a problem *post* election (36:45); why in 2024 the LEFT might be the victim of a disinformation campaign and wrongly think that the election was “stolen” (39:30); and finally what we can do to protect and inoculate ourselves against AI-fueled misinformation (45:00).
