Washington this spring <a href=\"https:\/\/www.spokesman.com\/stories\/2023\/may\/13\/spin-control-as-campaign-season-kicks-off-new-wash\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">enacted a law requiring the disclosure of deep fakes in political ads<\/a>, something other states may replicate. Hobbs says that there should be more responsibility put on social media companies that allow for AI-generated content.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think the newness of everything provides a lot of opportunities for malfeasance and mischief,\u201d said Michigan Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson (D), who also advocated for disclosure laws. \u201cWe all recognize the presence of AI and the cybersecurity umbrella of challenges that we\u2019re going to be encountering this cycle. Everyone is talking about it. Everyone is exploring solutions.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"ad ad--inline_1 \">\n<div class=\"ad__inner\"> <span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Advertisement<\/span> <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>\u201cThere doesn\u2019t seem to be as of yet a bipartisan divide because we see it as a storm we all need to tackle,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n<p>The rise of deepfakes and AI-generated misinformation coincides with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnn.com\/2023\/07\/10\/tech\/meta-layoffs-disinformation\/index.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">a divestment by major companies such as Meta<\/a> in resources to monitor election content, a reversal in previous years. A federal judge also recently upheld an injunction preventing the Biden administration, including the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency, from discussing domestic disinformation with tech companies. CISA has acted as the main election defender and has in recent elections worked with social media platforms and states to counter voting disinformation. <\/p>\n<p>Secretaries of state that CyberScoop spoke with had mixed reactions about the injunction.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI can see the importance of trying to prevent misinformation from taking hold and being spread and at the same time there have to be real concerns about freedom of speech and infringing on that,\u201d said New Hampshire Secretary of State David Scanlan (R). \u201cI think we have to develop a process to deal with that. And it has to be beyond just a single individual, or a single political party, or interested party making those decisions. It has to be an objective, unbiased review of the information with appropriate guidelines and appeals.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think it\u2019s important to not read too much into this,\u201d said Benson. \u201cIt cuts off a source of verification in some ways. But it doesn\u2019t take away responsibility from the social media companies.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"ad ad--inline_1 \">\n<div class=\"ad__inner\"> <span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Advertisement<\/span> <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Officials aren\u2019t just looking at new hurdles, however, but bringing lessons from 2020 and 2022 with them. A big priority for states is getting ahead of disinformation by educating voters and providing some transparency to how the process works. For instance, in Michigan Benson has launched a \u201cTruth Tellers\u201d task force comprised of community leaders ranging from church leaders to athletes to speak with voters about their concerns.<\/p>\n<p>The task force will not only be essential in building trust before the election but afterward, too. She said that state secretaries were better prepared for pre-election misinformation in 2020, but vastly underestimated how much would come after the election<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe know misinformation is going to be a hallmark of this cycle,\u201d said Benson.<\/p>\n<p>New Hampshire meanwhile launched a special committee on voter confidence with appointed representatives that toured the state listening to voters about their concerns about elections.
