Washingtonians face a troubling challenge as they head to the polls in 2024: the rise of artificial intelligence to influence voters and sow distrust about candidates and election integrity. The stakes are high with the presidential race and three statewide elections this year, and local leaders are working to combat the use of dangerous deepfake technology designed to mislead the public and harm American democracy.
