While we shouldn't overplay the idea that our elections are 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.

The challenge in discerning between AI-generated and authentic content poses all sorts of issues down the line… It allows bad actors to exploit that uncertainty by dismissing deepfake content as allegations, there's fake news, it poses problems with fact-checking, and all of these things are detrimental to the fundamental principles of democracy.
