According to US intelligence officials, Russia and Iran are leveraging artificial intelligence to amplify their efforts to influence the upcoming 2024 elections in the United States. While the integration of AI in these disinformation campaigns is evident, US analysts assert that it is not significantly revolutionizing the tactics employed by foreign adversaries. Russia reportedly produced the majority of AI-generated content aimed at swaying the US presidential vote, raising alarms about the capabilities of adversaries in the current geopolitical landscape.
