This is the best summary I could come up with:

The UK government says it is taking steps to protect elections from foreign interference, through a Defending Democracy Taskforce launched last year and chaired by Home Office Security Minister Tom Tugendhat.

What is new, as the National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) - an arm of GCHQ - pointed out in its annual report, is the easy availability of powerful, generative AI tools, which can be used to create convincing fakes.

“Large language models will almost certainly be used to generate fabricated content, AI-created hyper-realistic bots will make the spread of disinformation easier and the manipulation of media for use in deepfake campaigns will likely become more advanced,” warns the NCSC in its report.

In November, a fake audio clip of London Mayor Sadiq Khan calling for Armistice Day to be re-scheduled due to a pro-Palestinian march circulated widely on social media.

And he is part of a group of Tory MPs who have written to Science Secretary Michelle Donelan to demand clearer guidance for social media firms to help them comply with recently passed national security laws aimed at combating foreign interference.

One security source told the BBC that while deepfakes might be the longer-term threat, the more immediate issue was likely to be the use of AI to craft more effective “spearphishing” emails, which encourage people to click on links leading to their computers being compromised.
