“The (US intelligence community) considers AI a malign influence accelerant, not yet a revolutionary influence tool,” an ODNI official told reporters.
Iran, for example, has used AI to generate content in Spanish about immigration, which Tehran perceives as a divisive US political issue, the ODNI official said.
Russia has generated the most AI content related to the US election of any foreign power, according to the ODNI official.
Foreign operatives have also embraced plenty of old-school influence techniques this election cycle, such as staging videos rather than generating them with AI.
This isn’t the first general US election where foreign powers have considered deploying AI capabilities.
