While senators agreed on the nature of these threats, they expressed concern about the clarity and effectiveness of the government’s response plans.
Director of National Intelligence Avril Haines, CISA Director Jen Easterly, and FBI Deputy Executive Director Larissa Knapp noted the increasing sophistication of AI tools to create convincing fake video and audio. According to them, these technologies pose a significant danger to the upcoming presidential elections as they can “mislead voters and disrupt the election process.”
Senator Marco Rubio expressed concern about uncertainty in the government’s response strategy, and Senator Mark Warner called for faster and more transparent disclosure of efforts, emphasizing that the “barriers are low” against “foreign intervention.”
