‘Fake AI news websites trying to mislead US voters before presidential elections’

In the lead-up to the November 5 election, pro-Kremlin websites posed as US news outlets, disseminating false claims. These AI-driven fake news sites outnumber traditional newspapers and are aimed at undermining trust in the media. A network run by John Mark Dougan, a former US Marine in Russia, falsely implicated the Democratic Party in an assassination attempt on Donald Trump using AI-generated audio. NewsGuard, a US-based disinformation watchdog, confirmed that the audio was AI-generated using various detection tools.
