Lol as if AI is gonna hack our paper ballots. These politicians just want an excuse to push digital voting.
nah mate, you're dreaming. They'll digitize it one day and it'll be a mess.
We can't even get the census right without stuffing it up, and now they're worried about AI in elections? Sort the basics out first.
deflection. Let's blame the tech instead of the corrupt system.
Paul Goldsmith still thinks he's relevant? Bloke couldn't protect his own seat from a decent candidate.
Tbh I'm more worried about dodgy politicians than AI. They're already manipulating things without any tech help.

Actually this is a real threat. Deepfakes and misinformation are already changing votes overseas. Good on Goldy for looking into it.
Anyone else remember when election security meant a locked box and a scrutineer? Simpler times.
a broken clock is right twice a day I suppose.
More taxpayer money wasted on some consultant's report that says 'be careful of robots'. Cheers Paul.
Don't hold your breath. They'll spend millions on a report then do nothing.
I work in IT and the amount of social engineering attacks is insane. AI just makes it easier. This is legit.
I work in IT too and it's just fearmongering. As if they'll actually do anything.
