Neil Ferguson discusses the likelihood of AI impacting the 2024 election due to political campaigns' large budgets and rapid adoption of new communication technologies by political entrepreneurs. AI models like OpenAI's GPT-4 can create vast amounts of believable content, including fake phone calls and videos, potentially influencing voters and trust in real content.
