It’s a big year for global elections, and hashtag#ai poses a real threat to the world’s electoral systems. I’m delighted to share a new op-ed I’ve written for the San Francisco Chronicle digging into the thorny question of election security in the age of hashtag#generativeai.
Tech leaders like hashtag#samaltman of OpenAI are taking the AI threat to our elections seriously, and we should too. We’re already seeing world leaders — from Trump and Biden to global leaders at Davos during the World Economic Forum – getting tangled in the web of AI-generated misinformation. As election season heats up, things are only going to get worse.
On a more personal level, I hope this piece helps remind folks that hashtag#techpr can play a constructive role in these big debates. As a former Silicon Valley founder and current CEO of Rosebud Communications, I firmly believe that business leaders have both an opportunity and a duty to share their expertise, and use thought leadership to guide media narratives. It’s not just about visibility; it’s about adding depth and insight to crucial topics.
Let’s encourage more leaders to step up and share their perspectives. The AI revolution won’t be stopping anytime soon, and there’s a real need for people who work in fast-changing industries to share their insights.
