Will AI change how Arizona votes? Here's what you need to know

Artificial intelligence is a booming business. With a few dollars
anyone can create a deep faked voice online. ChatGPT and other AI
writing programs can take a student essay and polish it to a Ph.D.
level. Manipulated videos can show an official saying or doing
something outrageous -- and fake. With such powerful technology at
everyone's fingertips the question arises: how can we keep our
election systems safe from bad actors using AI? In this episode,
our election dissectors, Mary Jo Pitzl and Sasha Hupka, speak with
Don Palmer, the vice chair of the Election Assistance
Commission. This is a bipartisan commission that was created by
the Help America Vote Act of 2002, and it is tasked with
certifying voting systems across the country. It also supports
state and local election officials in their efforts to ensure
accessible, accurate and secure elections. Palmer explains both the
pros and cons of AI and why it's important to set parameters on how
it can be used. You will also hear an example of deep faked voices
of our hosts. Listen closely and see if you can tell the AI from
the real voices. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit
