The AI disinformation risk is growing—and fast. In an interview with Real America’s Voice, Brendan Steinhauser, senior advisor at the Alliance for Secure AI, explains how synthetic content is already being used to spread false narratives, impersonate officials, and confuse the public.
With generative AI, it’s now easy to clone a voice, fake a face, and create entire videos that never happened. That’s not just a tech problem—it’s a national security risk. As Brendan points out, hostile actors don’t need tanks when they have algorithms. They just need a viral fake and a few minutes of screen time.
The United States is behind. Most federal agencies aren’t equipped to detect or respond to high-quality fakes in real time. Brendan makes it clear: we need faster policy, smarter safeguards, and accountability from the companies building these tools.
At the Alliance, we see the AI disinformation risk as a core challenge of the decade. From elections to diplomacy, we need to rebuild trust—and it starts with real oversight.
