On October 15, 2024, Attorney General Dana Nessel took proactive steps to combat the growing threat of artificial intelligence (AI)-generated election misinformation by launching a new website aimed at empowering Michigan voters. The website serves as a hub for information about how AI is being used to spread false narratives and manipulate public opinion during elections. It offers practical resources for identifying misleading content, as well as tools for reporting such content to authorities.
The launch of the website comes amid increasing concerns over AI’s role in spreading disinformation—especially regarding elections. Nessel’s office has worked tirelessly to address this issue, understanding that the integrity of the democratic process depends on accurate information reaching voters. The site is designed to help combat the harmful effects of AI-driven falsehoods, which can lead to voter confusion, decreased turnout, and an overall undermining of trust in elections.
By equipping Michigan residents with the tools to recognize and report disinformation, Attorney General Nessel is helping to ensure that voters can make informed decisions in a fair electoral system. In doing so, she continues her broader efforts to protect democracy and foster an environment where elections reflect the will of the people, free from manipulation and deceit.
