Ahead of the 2024 U.S. elections, cybercriminals are increasingly using AI to create and spread misinformation, warns OpenAI. Leveraging AI tools, malicious actors can generate realistic yet false content, such as manipulated videos, fake news articles, and deepfake images, to mislead voters and sow confusion. This misuse of AI technology poses significant risks to the integrity of the election process, amplifying the spread of false information across social media and digital platforms. OpenAI emphasizes the need for heightened vigilance, stronger security measures, and public awareness to combat the growing threat of AI-driven election misinformation.
