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.
BiaSciLab is a 17-year-old hacker and maker. Her election hacking work was highlighted at a congressional hearing on election security. This inspired her to build her own election system: Secure Open Vote. This summer she is interning with IBM’s X-Force Red and is the lead goon for DCNextGen, the official DEF CON youth track. She is also the founder and CEO of Girls Who Hack, an organization focused on teaching girls the skills of hacking so that they can change the future.
