US lawmakers say Russia is using artificial intelligence to spread influence narratives faster and target Americans more effectively, according to United24 Media’s account of Politico reporting. The reported campaign is aimed at candidates who support Ukraine from both major parties, though the lawmakers did not name specific targets.

The lawmakers described the findings after receiving a classified US intelligence report. They also said the intelligence community had found no evidence that Russia tried to hack election infrastructure or political campaign networks. That distinction matters: this is an attributed account of influence activity, not a claim of hacked voting systems.

Discuss: How should platforms and officials respond to reported AI-assisted influence campaigns without overstating what the evidence shows?
