"This election cycle, the United States will face more adversaries, move at a faster pace and be enabled by new technologies," warned FBI Director Christopher Wray, speaking at the Intelligence and National Security Alliance breakfast on Thursday.
"Advances in generative AI, for example, are lowering the barrier to entry – making it easier for both more and less sophisticated foreign adversaries to engage in malign influence, while making foreign influence efforts by old and new players more realistic and difficult to discover," Wray continued.
A few days earlier, US Senator Mark Warner (D-VA), who chairs the Senate Intelligence Committee, told Trellix CEO Bryan Palma that the US is less prepared to fight foreign interference in the 2024 election than it was in 2020.
