His nearly hourlong conversation surrounded the theme of artificial intelligence.

According to Sullivan, there are already working systems in place.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;I think we have actually made substantial progress over the last eight years, but there&rsquo;s a long way to go,&rdquo; Sullivan said. &ldquo;We now have systems in place that actually can pretty rapidly identify deepfakes and call them out,&rdquo; Sullivan said.<\/p>\n<p>    <iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/PTyw0jkWN_s?si=Jb_O5QnFfwQ1nY30\" title=\"YouTube video player\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>    <\/p>\n<p>One concern is that the two major political parties in the country tend to disagree often about what messages are tantamount to &ldquo;misinformation.&rdquo; However, Sullivan appealed to both parties to take foreign threats seriously.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;We are not where we need to be &mdash; I acknowledge that &mdash; but I think we are continuing to move forward in a way where this is a top-flight priority for our intelligence community, for our law enforcement, for our NSA and Cybercom officials who are looking at foreign actors engaging in disruptive cyberattacks as part of this effort to undermine the U.S. election,&rdquo; Sullivan said. &ldquo;Regardless of whether you&rsquo;re a Republican or Democrat, you should look at this as a <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\">national security issue<\/a>, as an attack on our country and think, &lsquo;what can we collectively do to harden our resilience?&#8217;&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong><\/strong><\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>This comes days after Georgia&rsquo;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/georgia-elections-official-says-cyberattack-slowed-elections-website-washington-examiner\/\" title=\"Georgia elections official says cyberattack \u2018slowed\u2019 elections website - Washington Examiner\">election website experienced<\/a> a&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/campaigns\/3201454\/georgia-elections-official-cyberattack-slowed-elections-website\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">cyberattack<\/a>&nbsp;earlier this month, affecting its online&nbsp;absentee ballot&nbsp;system.<\/p>\n<p>Cybersecurity company Cloudflare caught the attack before it could take the website offline completely within weeks of the election.
