"Microsoft Corp. President Brad Smith warned the danger of foreign interference in the US election will surge in the final two days of the presidential campaign.
“The most perilous moment will come, I think, 48 hours before the election,” Smith told the Senate Intelligence Committee on Wednesday.
Smith said that was the “lesson to be learned” from the Slovakian election last fall, in which fake audio of one of the top candidates circulated online days before the election.
Foreign actors already have been spreading manipulated videos and false posts to sow discord around the U.S. presidential election, Smith and other executives with the country’s largest tech companies testified.
Smith said Microsoft earlier Wednesday had identified an “AI-enhanced” video from a Russian group showing Vice President Kamala Harris saying words she didn’t say at a recent rally."
