Version 0.54 (2024-06-06 22:53:16.546000)

updates: The Senate AI roadmap includes a plan for $32 billion in nondefense AI innovation by 2026. The roadmap focuses on enforcing existing laws and considering the need for new ones. The guidance highlights addressing election risks and supports a strong federal data privacy law. The plan has received support from some in the tech industry, while consumer advocates have criticized it for being vague on addressing AI risks. Schumer and the AI working group back the proposal for the federal government to spend at least $32 billion annually on non-defense related AI systems. The roadmap proposes transparency and explainability for generative AI systems, including requiring AI inventors to disclose the material on which their generative models are trained to provide credit to copyright holders. It also recommends legislation to protect against deepfakes in a manner consistent with the First Amendment. Critics argue that the report failed to adequately address the urgent challenges and risks associated with AI and called for stronger regulations and protections.

The report concluded there is little evidence that the influence operations have succeeded in swaying opinions thus far. Microsoft's report also noted that North Korea has begun to use AI to steal cryptocurrency, attack supply chains, and gather military intelligence more effectively.

updates: China is increasing its use of AI to create misinformation and target US voters ahead of the presidential election [db2e566c]. Chinese state-linked individuals are using AI to pose as Americans and ask divisive questions on social media, possibly to gather intelligence on key US voting demographics. China is also targeting national elections in India and South Korea. Microsoft warns that China's experimentation with AI-generated content will likely continue and may prove more effective in the future. The report cites examples of Chinese-affiliated individuals spreading conspiracy theories in the US, including false claims about wildfires in Hawaii and US drug use. Microsoft observed a surge in AI-generated disinformation during the January 2024 presidential election in Taiwan, attributed to Chinese threat actors. Microsoft believes that China's efforts to influence US elections will have a limited impact but warns of the potential for more effective disinformation campaigns in the future.
