UK's Cybersecurity Centre says AI Poses a "Significant Area of Risk" to UK Elections
Summary
On November 14, 2023, the UK’s National Cyber Security Centre published its Annual Review, which warned that AI poses a number of risks to the U.K.’s upcoming election, which will be held, at the latest, by January 2025. In particular, the Centre warned that “large language models will almost certainly be used to generate fabricated content, AI-created hyper-realistic bots will make the spread of disinformation easier and the manipulation of media for use in deepfake campaigns will likely become more advanced.”
