U.S. intelligence officials warned on Monday that Russia and Iran are using artificial intelligence (AI) to influence the American election by creating synthetic content that is more convincing and tailored to specific audiences. The officials stated that while AI has been used in overseas elections before, it has now reached US elections with evidence suggesting Russian manipulation of Vice President Kamala Harris' speeches.
Russia and Iran are using artificial intelligence to influence the American election, U.S. intelligence officials said on Monday.
Russia "has generated the most AI content related to the election, and has done so across all four mediums, text, images, audio and video," an ODNI official said. "The IC also assesses that Russian influence actors were responsible for altering videos of the vice president's speeches," the official said.
"Russia is a much more sophisticated actor in the influence space in general, and they have a better understanding of how U.S. elections work and what states to target," an ODNI official said.
