WASHINGTON (April 2, 2024) – It’s safe to say that Americans are worried about external interference in the 2024 presidential election, with the advancements in AI, Deepfakes, and out-of-country threats. The New York Times reports, “covert Chinese accounts are masquerading online as American supporters of former President Donald J. Trump, promoting conspiracy theories, stoking domestic divisions and attacking President Biden ahead of the election in November, according to researchers and government officials.” The progressions are further raising concerns.
