"Microsoft Warns of Election Threats in 2024"

A recent threat intelligence assessment released by Microsoft’s Threat Analysis Center (MTAC) has warned of potential unprecedented challenges to the security of elections over the next year.  Microsoft suggested that authoritarian nation states may attempt to interfere with electoral processes using a combination of traditional methods and emerging technologies, including AI.  Microsoft stated that there is a need for governments, technology companies, businesses, and civil society to collaborate and take proactive steps to safeguard elections.  Microsoft unveiled a set of principles to guide efforts to protect electoral processes in the United States and other countries with critical elections in 2024.  The four principles include ensuring voters have reliable election information, helping candidates detect and address AI-generated distortions, supporting campaigns against cyber threats with accessible tools, and equipping election authorities with secure electoral tools.
