Foreign adversaries are ramping up efforts to influence American voters—and are likely to try to undermine confidence in the democratic process through Inauguration Day—according to a new intelligence community assessment, which was released as the presidential election is just two weeks away.
The foreign influence campaigns, which include the use of artificial intelligence (AI) to generate divisive content, are expected to intensify as Election Day nears—and persist after polls close through Inauguration Day in January, according to an Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI) security update and a National Intelligence Council declassified memo, both announced on Oct. 22.
