Past, Present, Predictions - A Look Into AI, Deep Fakes, Social Media PsyOps, and Their Effect on the Upcoming Election Cycle
BiaSciLab

This year, many major nations, including the U.S., are holding elections. With new weapons like AI on the rise, there are more ways than ever for existing Psy Ops attacks to be amplified and for new ones to emerge. There's a lot to be learned from past mistakes, and our last elections have provided plenty of learning material. In this talk, BiaSciLab will show how past attacks and present tools can affect our election system. She will also demonstrate how social media Psy Ops, powered by AI, can influence voters' minds and change the course of elections.
