Canadians should expect AI-enabled foreign meddling in election: cybersecurity centre

OTTAWA — The federal cybersecurity centre says China, Russia and Iran are very likely to use tools enabled by artificial intelligence in attempts to meddle in the coming general election campaign.
In a new report, the Canadian Centre for Cyber Security also says cybercriminals are likely to take advantage of election-related opportunities in Canada to perpetrate scams.
The centre says that despite these threats, it is very unlikely that AI-enabled activities will fundamentally undermine the integrity of the general election.
An election is widely expected in the coming weeks after the Liberals choose a new leader to succeed Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.
