Election Workers Are Drowning in Records Requests. AI Chatbots Could Make It Worse
Election workers drowning in records requests face a new challenge with AI chatbots. These chatbots can flood their offices with mass-produced FOIA requests, overwhelming their ability to carry out their duties and compromising the integrity of elections. Generative AI companies need to take measures to prevent misuse, but governments and officials lack the tools and training to respond effectively. Watermarking AI-generated content is suggested as a solution, but advanced technology and training are required. Finding a balance between AI chatbot use and preventing abuse is essential in navigating these challenging times.
