In January 2024, New Hampshire residents received AI-generated calls that mimicked Joe Biden, urging them to skip the primary. This incident underscores the growing concern over AI's ability to influence elections. Recent research indicates that AI chatbots can shift voter opinions more effectively than traditional ads, with some studies showing shifts of up to 25 percentage points. The technology allows for the creation of personalized messages at a low cost, making it accessible for various actors, including foreign adversaries. As the U.S. prepares for future elections, the lack of robust regulations raises alarms about the potential for AI to manipulate public opinion and undermine democratic processes. Policymakers are urged to address these challenges before the next presidential election.
