US Deputy Attorney General Lisa Monaco warns that AI could "supercharge" disinformation and incite violence during elections, describing it as a "double-edged sword" with potential for both benefits and misuse. Plans are underway to make the use of AI by criminals an aggravating factor in US court sentencing, and efforts are being made to protect the upcoming US election from AI-powered misinformation. Monaco expresses concerns about the potential impact of AI on democracy and emphasizes the need for collaboration between governments, tech companies, and legislation to establish appropriate "guardrails" for AI and safeguard democracy.
