EU Warns AI Chatbots and Deepfakes Could Threaten Integrity of 2024 European Election

The EU's cybersecurity agency warns that AI chatbots and deepfakes pose a threat to the integrity of the 2024 European Parliament election.

There has been a surge in the use of AI chatbots, deepfakes, and similar tech that could spread disinformation.

Media outlets and governments need to be vigilant in spotting and fighting AI-generated disinformation ahead of the election.

Deepfakes and AI disinformation have already been used in recent election campaigns in Europe.

The report also warns of an "unprecedented surge" in cyberattacks like ransomware and DDoS attacks across the EU.
