When the generative AI boom kicked off, one of the biggest concerns was that hyperrealistic deepfakes could be used to influence elections. But new research from the Alan Turing Institute recently found that AI-generated falsehoods seem to have had no effect on election results around the world so far this year. However, one of the most consequential elections of the year is still ahead of us. In just over a month, Americans will head to the polls to choose Donald Trump or Kamala Harris as their next president. And, so far, external state actors are relying far more heavily on old tried-and-tested tactics than newfangled AI tools to interfere.
