Armed with artificial intelligence: the Russian Federation is the greatest threat to the US election - The Hill

The US suggests that the enemy can break the state election systems to change the results of voting or give the impression that the election results cannot be trusted. Russia, China and Iran will try to influence the future elections in the United States, this time using the latest innovations in the field of artificial intelligence to spread misinformation on the Internet, misleading voters and undermining trust in democracy. The Hill writes about it.

The latest warning of the US intelligence services was made to create artificial intelligence of realistic images, video and audiomaterials that can deceive even the most demanding voter. "Russia remains the most active foreign threat to our elections," said US National Intelligence Director Euril Gayins.

In particular, in recent months, Russia has embarked on American debate on immigration, spreading posts that exaggerate the impact of migration, apparently trying to cause outrage among American voters. In addition, misinformation tools are public media, online influders and fake accounts that can quickly spread false and misleading content. "Russia, China and Iran remain the main players who seek to intervene in the 2024 elections.

Due to technological progress, other countries or even internal groups can try to carry out their own sophisticated misinformation campaigns," the material reads. It was China's connections with Tiktok that were one of the reasons that Congress members referred to who recently voted to force the TikTok owner based in Beijing to sell the platform. Iran is using social networks for threats and attempts to confuse voters, Gaine said.

In addition, the United States suggests that an opponent can break the electoral systems of states or local authorities to change the results of voting or give the impression that the election results cannot be trusted. We will remind, on May 15 CNN reported that Russia increased the number of fakes and misinformation about President of Ukraine Vladimir Zelensky.
