b'In late January 2024, New Hampshire residents received a strange phone call. The voice of Joe Biden was telling them not to vote in the Democratic Primaries.\\xa0 But it wasn\\u2019t actually the President on the line\\u2026 It was a deep faked robot. This was part of an unlawful attempt to disrupt the New Hampshire Presidential Primary Election. That disinformation campaign was created by easily accessible technology. Over the next months, more sophisticated attempts are almost bound to emerge seeking to disrupt the November US Presidential Elections\\u2026 so what can be done to prevent AI-empowered voter suppression and help protect democracy against these very real threats?\\xa0\\n\\xa0\\nTo find out, Alex Hall Hall speaks to Miles Taylor. Miles was the Chief of Staff in the Department of Homeland Security under the Trump Administration. It was later revealed that he was the author of the famous \\u2018Anonymous\\u2019 essay in the New York Times entitled, \\u2018I am part of the Resistance Inside the Trump Administration\\u2019. He most recently wrote an NYT bestseller \\u2018Blowback\\u2019. Taylor is now the co-founder of the US Futures Policy Studio in Washington; an organisation which is looking to help policymakers better understand deep fake technology. In his discussion with Alex, he talks about his reasons for leaving the Trump Administration; the unbridled vengeance he faced as a consequence of speaking out against a Neo-Populist; and his current work bringing attention to one of the most profound threats currently facing democracies: Artificial Intelligence.\\xa0\\n\\xa0\\nTo close the show, Jason and Alex \\u2018Order the Disorder\\u2019 by discussing the need for fast-moving regulation around AI, why a lengthening of \\u2018power distance\\u2019 in American society is an indication that our democratic institutions and culture aren\\u2019t work properly anymore, and why a public information campaign ridiculing AI deep fakes could help to prepare society for these disruptive technologies.\\xa0\\n\\xa0\\nTwitter: @DisorderShow\\xa0\\n\\xa0\\nSubscribe to our Substack: https://natoandtheged.substack.com/\\xa0\\xa0\\n\\xa0\\nWebsite: https://natoandtheglobalenduringdisorder.com/\\xa0\\xa0\\n\\xa0\\nProducer: George McDonagh\\xa0\\nExec Producer: Neil Fearn\\xa0\\n\\xa0\\nShow Notes Links\\xa0\\n\\xa0\\nRead the famous \\u2018Anonymous\\u2019 essay in the NYT here\\n\\xa0\\nRead why Miles unmasked himself here\\n\\xa0\\nRead Alex\\u2019s article \\u2018Should I Stay or Should I Go?
