While we shouldn’t overplay the idea that our elections no longer secure, particularly as worldwide evidence demonstrates no clear evidence of a result being changed by AI, we nevertheless must use this moment to act and make our elections resilient to the threats we face. Regulators can do more to help the public distinguish fact from fiction and ensure voters don’t lose faith in the democratic process.

With a general election just weeks away, political parties are already in the midst of a busy campaigning period. Right now, there is no clear guidance or expectations for preventing AI being used to create false or misleading electoral information. That’s why it’s so important for regulators to act quickly before it’s too late.
