Washington: The annual threat assessment report on the US says that Russia, China and Iran can try to influence the US presidential election to be held on November 5. For this, they can spread fake or divisive information using AI.
According to this Department of Homeland Security report, Russian influencers have exaggerated stories about migrants entering the US to stir up controversy by using generative AI to create fake websites that appear to be from authentic US media outlets.
According to the report, Iran has also become aggressive in its attempts at foreign influence. For example, Iranian actors have posed as activists online to promote protests over the conflict in Gaza.
