The United States is bracing for rapid and evolving threats to its electoral processes this year, as highlighted by FBI Director Christopher Wray. Wray emphasized that advancements in artificial intelligence and other technologies have made interference and meddling in elections more accessible than ever before.
Wray, speaking at a national security conference, pointed out that the U.S. is likely to encounter a higher number of adversaries operating at an accelerated pace, leveraging new technologies to engage in malign influence activities. Specifically, he noted the impact of generative AI, which has facilitated both sophisticated and less-sophisticated foreign actors in conducting such activities.
