.@EmCollective’s Raffi Krikorian at #AspenCyber Summit: The information environment we’re in ahead of the #2024Elections is scary. People are getting their information from small up-and-coming #platforms that don’t have the staff or resources to address mis- and #disinformation.

Great discussion at @AspenDigital with @raffi and @C_C_Krebs on the work we are doing in Michigan to educate and empower voters to spot deepfakes and reject misinformation in advance of the 2024 election cycle. Trusted voices for the win! 🙌🏼
.@MichSoS at #AspenCyber Summit: For several #elections, Michigan has had a field team within 5 minutes of local polling places. With the increased speed at which #AI can spread #disinformation, we have more people in place to identify the truth and get it out there quickly.

Great @AspenDigital discussion on 2024 election security by @C_C_Krebs, @JocelynBenson and @raffi. An important reminder that the entire goal of disinformation and election interference is to deceive voters and the have them act on that deception. Our focus must be on that.
