The Senate Intelligence Committee will hear testimony Wednesday from officials who are assessing the potential threats to election security by foreign actors this November.

In a March 9 call with reporters, a senior FBI official described the risks as “more diverse and expansive than ever.”

The official pointed to China’s increased use of spurious social media accounts as one area of particular concern. According to the same source, artificial intelligence (AI) has given malign actors the opportunity to launch larger campaigns than in the past.

Wednesday’s hearing is slated to start at 2:30 pm EDT.

AI models have favorite numbers, because they think they're people
AI models are always surprising us, not just in what they can do, but what they can't, and why. An interesting new behavior is both superficial and revealing about these systems: they pick random numbers as if they're human beings, which is to say, badly. This is actually a very old and well known limitation that we, humans, have: we overthink and misunderstand randomness.
