A.I. Election Impacts in 2024

Every new year brings with it a gaggle of writers, analysts, and gamblers trying to tell the future. When it comes to tech news, that used to amount to some bloggers guessing what the new iPhone would look like. But in 2024, the technology most people are talking about is not a gadget, but rather an alternate future, one that Silicon Valley insiders say is inevitable.

With less than a year until the presidential election, a wave of misinformation and disinformation is expected to flow at voters, with the help of artificial intelligence.
