Election day in the US is just weeks away, and the ready availability of generative artificial intelligence tools like ChatGPT is making this a campaign like no other before it. One recent investigation by the Wall Street Journal found thousands of politically misleading AI-generated TikTok videos that are being produced in countries such as China, Nigeria, Iran, and Vietnam – and then distributed by a network of 91 accounts with the specific goal of influencing the outcome of the US election. Whether the company you work for is politically sensitive or not, in coming weeks you are likely to see a surge in malware attacks and attempts to manipulate you either personally, or because of your position in the business. So, as the election nears, make sure you are on the lookout for not only misinformation and disinformation, but for spam and phishing campaigns seeking to trick you into handing over personal details – or install malware that can be used to infiltrate your business. Election day will come and go, but a slip of judgment now could have repercussions for you and your employer long after the last ballot has been counted.
