I'll be on @KCBSRadio in 10 (that's 12:20 local for those in SF) to talk about suspicious political ads on Facebook and the upcoming election. You can tune in here: https://t.co/Y7c2D0buBa
While Georgia courts have blocked efforts to require officials to hand-count ballots, the damage is already done.
@isabelalinzer & @timharper1 write that foreign adversaries can use the narrative to spread election disinformation in November and beyond.

Georgia courts put a stop to the hand-count rule, but we probably haven't heard the end of it.
@timharper1 and I write in @just_security about how the mere attempt at the rule remains fodder for election denial.

New reporting from Krebs on Security (@BrianKrebs) & @404MediaCo today extends our understanding of the wide scale, surreptitious location tracking of Americans and the sale of that information to #DataBrokers, private investigators, & law enforcement.https://t.co/B9EWVJS1lC
NEW RESEARCH: CDT worked with @GSPIA’s Ford Institute, & @Politus_AI to examine the 2024 U.S. elections & compare offensive and hate speech targeting candidates on X based on race & gender. https://t.co/Xt9Zng0n5T
The irony of this is that it appears X got rid of the page explaining its once existent "hacked materials" policy. So it's unclear why Klippenstein was suspended.

Great to see @JBoorstin cover our new @CenDemTech research on unreliable (and sometimes harmful) voting information from chatbots
https://t.co/uOKoGYoQup
New @cendemtech report on how ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, Mixtral, & Llama respond to queries about voting with a disability is live. Findings below🧵
Spoiler: we found a *lot* of problems... https://t.co/12wBKH4JtX
On the positive side:
⭐️very little bias/discrimination
⭐️some answers were very nuanced
The takeaway? Chatbots *ARE* capable of responsible answers, and that’s the standard we should expect.
This piece gives a clear window into the complexities and tensions AI+climate. We should think beyond data centers and focus on specific use cases, like when considering other types of AI-related harms
To the public, Microsoft uses its reputation as an AI & sustainability leader to tell a compelling story: AI will do wonders to help solve the climate crisis. To fossil-fuel firms, Microsoft has a different message: AI will help them drill, baby, drill. 1/ https://t.co/NBQD6h86RJ
This kind of thing is the real AI existential risk--existential risk to actual unemployed people in Nevada who will be forced to rely on AI architectures with demonstrable fairness and accuracy issues to make decisions that will determine whether they have enough money to live
