Russia has generated more artificial intelligence content to influence the U.S. presidential election than any other foreign power as part of its broader effort to boost Republican candidate Donald Trump against Democrat Kamala Harris, a U.S. intelligence official said Monday. Reuters reported.

The official from the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, speaking on condition of anonymity, commented to reporters on the information about the alleged use of AI by Russia and other countries to influence the Nov. 5 vote.

Moscow's AI content is “consistent with Russia's broader efforts to boost the former president's candidacy and denigrate the vice president and the Democratic Party, including through conspiracy narratives.”
