Microsoft Uncovers Chinese-Controlled AI-Driven Fake Social Media Network Influencing U.S. Voters

In a recent groundbreaking discovery, Microsoft researchers unveiled a network of fake social media accounts that purportedly controlled by Chinese entities and utilized artificial intelligence to influence U.S. voters.

According to Microsoft's comprehensive research report, these social media accounts were part of a suspected Chinese information operation similar to activities previously attributed by the U.S. Department of Justice to an "elite group within China's Ministry of Public Security."

The Implications for Election Security

This revelation raises grave concerns regarding the integrity of election processes, not only in the United States but across the globe. It highlights the escalating sophistication of digital manipulation tactics and the importance of safeguarding the democratic process from undue foreign influence.

Unlocking the Potential of AI in Education: A Call for Ethical Guidelines

Paris: The United Nations issued a call to action on Thursday, emphasizing the importance of implementing stringent regulations concerning AI tools like the viral chatbot ChatGPT within educational settings. These regulations should include restrictions that limit their deployment to older children.

In its latest set of guidelines directed towards governments, UNESCO, the UN's educational body, raised concerns about the readiness of public authorities to address the ethical implications surrounding the introduction of "generative" Artificial Intelligence programs in schools.

Based in Paris, UNESCO highlighted that an overreliance on such AI programs instead of human educators could potentially impact a child's emotional well-being and render them susceptible to manipulation.
