Election Integrity in the Age of AI Deep Fakes Reasons for Confidence in the 2024 U.S. Voting Systems

Published

INDEPENDENCE, Ohio, Oct. 9, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — As concern over voter fraud and cyberattacks loom, advances in digital security tools are making it more difficult than ever to tamper with election systems. Many different methods are used by both the private sector and government agencies to protect voting integrity. Through secure voter registration systems, tracking absentee and mail-in ballots, end-to-end vote encryption and real-time cyberattack monitoring, voters can feel confident that their own voices will be heard.

Securing Voter Registration Systems
Many states have implemented Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) for officials accessing voter registration databases. MFA requires users to verify their identity through multiple steps—such as entering a password and confirming their identity through a text message code—before they can access sensitive information.

“With tools like multi-factor authentication, access to the system requires multiple layers of verification, making unauthorized entry nearly impossible. This additional security measure ensures that voter information remains protected,” says Matt Gaudio, Chief Strategy Officer at Advizex.

Securing Absentee and Mail-In Ballots
Mail-in and absentee ballots have become increasingly popular, and ensuring their security is a top priority. Many states have implemented tracking systems that allow voters to monitor the status of their absentee or mail-in ballots. In states like California, voters can receive text or email alerts when their ballot is processed.

Election Day Monitoring: Real-Time Threat Detection
On Election Day, digital election systems use real-time threat monitoring software to watch for unusual activity, such as attempts to hack into the system or slow down the voting process. During the 2020 election, this monitoring detected potential threats early, allowing officials to act and ensure that everything ran smoothly. In the 2024 election, these tools will be even more advanced, allowing for quicker detection and responses.

“Real-time monitoring systems act as a 24/7 watchdog, ensuring that any suspicious activity is caught immediately, and corrective action is taken before it can impact the vote count,” explains Gaudio.

Securing Votes with Transmission Encryption
Once in-person and absentee ballots are cast, they are securely transmitted using end-to-end encryption methods to ensure no one can tamper with the results. The votes can only be decrypted by election officials when they reach the destination for counting. Even if a cybercriminal tried to intercept the data, they wouldn’t be able to read or change it.

Collaboration Between Public and Private Sectors
Election security is a collaborative effort between public and private sectors, which work together to address threats and ensure systems are secure. The U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) works with both state governments and private tech companies to protect the 2024 election. Many states are using private cybersecurity firms that specialize in threat detection and response, ensuring that their voting systems are as secure as possible.

Beyond the actual voting systems protections, state lawmakers in more than a dozen states have also recently advanced content protection proposals protecting against AI-generated content as the disinformation threat is supercharged worldwide.

Among the three laws signed by California Governor Gavin Newsom mid-September, one prevents AI deepfakes surrounding the 2024 election and is the most sweeping in scope. It targets not only materials that could affect how people vote but also any videos and images that could misrepresent election integrity. The law also covers materials depicting election workers and voting machines, not just political candidates.

With advances in technology and very recent legal protections, election officials and lawmakers are more prepared than ever to protect the integrity, fairness and transparency of the 2024 election.

Osome Eyes the Next Wave of AI Companies Choosing Singapore

SINGAPORE, HONG KONG and LONDON, July 27, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Osome, the AI company management platform trusted by more than 50,000 tech founders and solopreneurs globally, is strengthening its support for the next wave of AI companies choosing Singapore as their regional base.

Singapore’s appeal continues to grow as leading AI companies establish a stronger presence. OpenAI has committed S$300 million (US$234 million) to the country’s AI ecosystem, while Cognition has established its APAC headquarters there. Anthropic and Tencent are also increasing their presence in Singapore.

Budget 2026 reinforces this momentum with a National AI Impact Programme, a new Kampong AI hub at one-north, and a 400% tax deduction on qualifying AI investments. Foreign companies can access these incentives by incorporating a Private Limited Company, which allows 100% foreign ownership and startup tax rates as low as 10% under the Startup Tax Exemption.

As more AI-native startups choose Singapore to build lean, global businesses, Osome helps founders navigate the process. Operating across Singapore, Hong Kong, the UK, and the UAE, it enables founders to incorporate a company as fast as 7 days while managing back-office operations, including accounting, bookkeeping, and compliance.

Building on that support, Osome recently launched its Model Context Protocol (MCP) server, turning founders’ preferred AI assistants into a business command center. Through Claude, ChatGPT, and Gemini, founders can securely retrieve transactions, shareholder records, financial reports, and other company data from a single AI interface.

AI-native & tech founders are already building with Osome. UpNComer‘s founder, Karan Dasgupta, incorporated his Singapore company within days of switching to Osome, saving “easily 20 hours” every month. Dubai-based Aesty and Hong Kong’s Angelflow have reported similar gains, cutting bookkeeping from around a week of work to just two hours a month.

Eugenio Ferrante, CEO of Osome, said: “A few years ago, building a global company required a 500-person team and a massive regional office. Today, a three-person AI startup can operate globally from Singapore with a laptop. The biggest threat isn’t competition, but administrative drag. With our new MCP server, you can manage your company’s finance and compliance via your AI assistant, leaving you free to focus on building and serving customers.”

About Osome

Osome is an AI company-management platform combining human expertise with automation for incorporation, accounting and tax compliance. Since 2017, it has served 50,000+ startups in Singapore, Hong Kong, the UK and the UAE. Learn more at osome.com.

LOS ANGELES, July 26, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Insta360 announced “Vibrez en Jaune” Pop-Up, a three-day cycling and creator event held in Paris from July 24 to July 26, 2026. Designed to coincide with the electric atmosphere of the Tour de France finale, the event culminated in a 200-rider takeover of the Parisian streets, bringing the spirit of professional cycling to everyday enthusiasts and urban explorers.

Built around the theme ‘Think Bold, Ride Bold,’ “Vibrez en Jaune” Pop-Up featured immersive pop-up experiences, hands-on creator workshops, and a sprawling group ride traversing the iconic 90km classic route from Versailles to the Champs-Élysées. The festival served as a celebration of cycling not just as a competitive sport, but as a vehicle for exploration, storytelling, and community connection.

A Festival of Content and Culture

The event kicked off on July 24 with a two-day hub of activity in the heart of Paris. Moving away from traditional retail experiences, Insta360 hosted a series of “Cycle & Create” workshops designed to lower the barrier to content creation.

Attendees gained access to on-site trial devices, allowing them to test out Insta360’s unique product ecosystem firsthand. Insta360 product experts were on hand to teach advanced cycling photography and videography techniques, ensuring riders knew exactly how to capture dynamic, hands-free POV footage of their urban commutes and weekend group rides.

The pop-up also served as a central gathering space for the community. Registered riders connected over coffee, collected their limited-edition Insta360 yellow cycling jerseys, and prepared for the weekend’s main event.

The Hero Moment: Taking Over the Streets of Paris

On Sunday, July 26, over 200 riders embarked on the “Vibrez en Jaune” Pop-Up main event. Organized in partnership with the Peloton Cycling Club, the group rode a 90km route inspired by the Tour de France Paris finale.

Beginning in Versailles, the group rode through the Paris city center before arriving at the Champs-Élysées. To ensure safety and an optimal experience, riders were organized into small, supervised packs of 20 to 25 across four distinct difficulty tiers—Spicy, Medium-Plus, Medium, and Mild—making the professional route accessible to a wide range of skill levels.

Select riders were equipped with Insta360 cameras to record immersive, first-person footage of the group as they navigated the historic streets, creating a collaborative, community-driven documentary of the ride.

Celebrating the Finish Line

The ride concluded at the Insta360 pop-up space for a vibrant after-party. As the actual Tour de France final stage was broadcast live on a giant screen, participants were treated to a professional DJ, refreshments, and finger food.

To reward the community, Insta360 hosted a drawing featuring premium cycling accessory bundles and high-value grand prizes, including the Insta360 GO Ultra Tadej Pogačar Edition and an exclusive jersey signed by the cycling champion himself.

Redefining Urban Exploration

Beyond the celebration of the sport, “Vibrez en Jaune” Pop-Up highlights the brand’s ongoing commitment to sustainable urban lifestyles. By encouraging people to rediscover their cities by bike, Insta360 aims to promote cycling as an accessible, low-carbon choice that allows individuals to experience urban life in a more mindful, connected way.
