3 - 🙅🏻‍♀️ AI's Role in Election Influence: An Accelerator, Not a Game-Changer

Artificial intelligence is enhancing—but not revolutionizing—foreign influence operations targeting the 2024 US elections, according to a new assessment by the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI). Russia leads in AI-generated disinformation, supporting Trump’s candidacy, while Iran and China use AI to stir political division. Despite these efforts, US officials stress that foreign operatives still face significant limitations in developing AI tools sophisticated enough to significantly disrupt election integrity.

5 - 💥 Nvidia's AI Revenue: A Quartet of Powerhouses
