Intelligence Official Says Russia Generates the Most AI to Impact U.S. Elections

Claims that videos and articles are intended to boost former President Trump over Vice President Harris.

An official from the Office of the Director of National Intelligence said Monday that Russia has generated more content using artificial intelligence (AI) to influence America’s upcoming presidential election than any other foreign adversary.

AI can be used to generate convincing images, videos, and news articles. China and Iran are also generating AI content, but their strategies are focused more on broader influence over the U.S. rather than swaying U.S. elections. 

“China is using AI in broader influence operations seeking to shape global views of China and amplify divisive U.S. political issues,” the official said. “We are not yet seeing China use AI for any specific operations targeting U.S. election outcomes.”

The official also said Iranian influence actors have used AI to help generate posts for social media and “write inauthentic news articles for websites that claim to be real news sites.”

As the Lord Leads, Pray with Us…

  • For the director of national intelligence and those working in that office to be discerning in their disclosures.
  • For U.S. election officials as they seek to safeguard the upcoming election.
  • For American voters to look to the Lord for wisdom as they consider who they will support in the November elections.
