[ad_1] Elections around the world are facing an evolving threat from foreign actors, one that involves artificial intelligence.Countries trying to influence each other's elections entered a new era in 2016, when the Russians launched a series of social media disinformation campaigns targeting the us presidential election. Over the next seven years, a number of countries – most prominently China and Iran – used social media to influence foreign elections, both in the US and elsewhere in the world.
