Sen. Warner: U.S. is less prepared to secure the 2024 election than 2020


The Senate Select Committee on Intelligence chair expressed concerns about foreign intervention this election cycle and chided Biden lawyers for taking a “cautious” approach on social media misinformation.

Warner pointed to a court case that directed CISA to cease alerting social media companies of posts that are spreading misinformation about the election, following outrage from right-wing provocateurs. He pointed to a recent case of an AI-generated robocall imitating President Joe Biden that urged Democratic primary voters in New Hampshire to stay away from polls. Warner said the 2016 election interference campaign by the Kremlin will look like “child’s play” compared to 2024, largely due to the impact of AI increasing the scale and speed of these operations.
