2024-01-21
Arr, ye scurvy dogs at the Oregon secretary of state's office be employin' some fancy contraption called 'artificial intelligence' to sniff out election fraud in the year 2022. They be callin' it mis-, dis-, and malinformation, or MDM fer short. They be thinkin' of usin' it again this year, just like them Arizona landlubbers be monitorin' election info on the interwebs. But ye know what, mateys? They be facin' a lawsuit already, har har!
But fear not, me hearties, for the secretary's office be not deterred! They be planning to use this AI once more for the upcoming elections. They be taking a leaf out of Arizona's book, where they also used their AI to keep a watchful eye on election information online. Ahoy, though, it seems the winds of trouble be upon them, for a lawsuit be headed their way.
During the 2022 midterms, the Oregon office had their AI set to target concerns about mail-in ballots. They be casting their net wide, me hearties, scouring the vast expanse of the internet for any signs of foul play. And not only did Oregon set sail on this adventure, but Arizona also be working with social media companies to bring down any false information spreadin' like wildfire on the digital seas.
But alas, me hearties, even with all the AI firepower, there be still doubloons of doubt. Some folks be questioning the accuracy of this AI, claimin' it be mighty biased and unable to separate fact from fiction. And that's what be causin' this lawsuit to come crashin' down on the shores of the secretary's office.
So, me mateys, the battle be on between the AI defenders and those who be cryin' foul. Will Oregon sail through these troubled waters victorious, or will they be forced to walk the plank? Only time will tell, but one thing be certain - this be no ordinary election tale, but a grand, swashbucklin' adventure on the high seas of democracy!
