民主党人谴责推动 AI 自动语音电话 民主党人正在抨击共和党主导的推动，后者试图让联邦通信委员会批准在 11 月 3 日中期选举前使用人工智能生成的自动语音电话。保守派组织“成长俱乐部”推动了一项目前正由 FCC 及其亲特朗普主席审议的提案，该提案将授权类似 2024 年乔·拜登深度伪造自动语音电话的做法，该电话旨在压制新罕布什尔州民主党总统初选的选民参与。
Democrats decry push for AI robocalls Democrats are fighting Republican-led efforts to get the Federal Communications Commission to approve the use of artificial intelligence-generated robocalls ahead of the Nov. 3 midterm elections The conservative Club for Growth is behind a proposal currently under consideration by the FCC and its pro-Trump chair that would authorize robocalls like the Joe Biden deepfake in 2024, which was intended to suppress voter participation in New Hampshire’s Democratic presidential primary The FCC could issue a ruling by month’s end, The Associated Press reported.
《美联社》报道，FCC 可能最早于本月底作出裁决。如果获批，此举可能允许保守派在选举日前用 AI 驱动的虚假信息轰炸公众——参议院少数党领袖查克·舒默正在警告公众其中的利害关系。
If approved, the move could allow conservatives to bombard the public with AI-enabled misinformation in the lead-up to Election Day — and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer is warning the public about what’s at stake.
“联邦通信委员会（FCC）必须拒绝共和党一个团体提出的请求，该请求允许政治团体在未经人们同意的情况下向手机发送自动语音电话。”他在文中写道，“在关键选举前，把美国人置于可能被人工智能生成的虚假信息欺骗的位置上，这是共和党又一次试图误导选民。”在关键选举前，把美国人置于可能被人工智能生成的虚假信息欺骗的位置上……1920年10月19日，各州起诉OpenAI多个州已提起诉讼，指控OpenAI——ChatGPT背后的公司——违反消费者保护法，并对其聊天机器人造成用户风险——该聊天机器人已被用于策划校园枪击事件。
“The FCC MUST reject the request made by a Republican group that would allow political groups to make robocalls to cell phones without people’s permission,” he wrote on adding: “Putting Americans in a position where they can be fed misinformation through AI-generated deception ahead of a crucial election is yet another attempt by Republicans to mislead voters.”Putting Americans in a position where they can be fed misinformation through AI-generated deception ahead of a crucial…October 19, 2026 States sue OpenAI Several states have filed lawsuits accusing OpenAI, the company behind ChatGPT, of violating consumer protection laws and putting users at risk with its chatbot — which has been used to plan school shootings.
我此前报道过这些诉讼以及OpenAI日益增加的审查。（该公司发言人表示，他们已在产品中“内置了行业领先的按年龄划分的保护措施，许多其他AI产品所缺乏的正是这些措施。”）Now FBI逮捕OpenAI员工FBI逮捕了一名为OpenAI工作的沙特籍人士，指控他非法在公司高管会议室安装了一台录音设备。Tech Crunch CBS新闻网的选举报道CBS News部分员工据报道抱怨，其亲特朗普的总编辑Bari Weiss曾要求员工追寻一些由保守派在社交媒体上煽动起来的关于进步候选人的报道，例如近期社交媒体上传播的有关詹姆斯·塔拉科（James Talarico）的虚假信息——他是德克萨斯州的民主党参议员候选人。
I wrote about the lawsuits and the increasing scrutiny toward OpenAI. (A spokesperson said the company has “built industry-leading age-specific protections into our product that many other AI products lack.”) MS NOW FBI arrests OpenAI employee The FBI arrested a Saudi national who was working for OpenAI and accused him of illegally planting a recording device in one of the company’s executive conference rooms. Tech Crunch CBS News’ election coverage Some staffers at CBS News reportedly have complained that Bari Weiss, their Trump-friendly editor-in-chief, has urged employees to pursue stories about progressive candidates that have been ginned up by conservatives on social media, such as the recent disinformation that MAGA world promoted about James Talarico, the Democratic Senate nominee in Texas.
Semafor Meta的种种操作Meta临时暂停了上周周末“无国王”抗议活动的Instagram主要账号，引发了人们对该公司是否助长了威权运动的担忧。我解释了为什么反特朗普抗议引发的争议，加上该公司在巴西选举中的角色问题，证明Meta并未获得应有的信任。
Semafor Meta’s machinations Meta’s temporary suspension of the primary Instagram account for last weekend’s No Kings demonstrations is fueling concerns about the company helping enable authoritarian movements. I explained why the controversy involving the anti-Trump protests, combined with accusations about the company’s role in Brazil’s elections, proves that Meta hasn’t earned the benefit of the doubt.
马斯克与中期选举 MS NOW 的 Soorin Kim 撰文指出，随着中期选举威胁到共和党对国会的控制权——以及共和党用来向马斯克倾斜联邦利益的“水龙头”面临风险——埃隆·马斯克正在德克萨斯州及其他地方释放巨额资金助推共和党人。
Musk and the midterms MS NOW’s Soorin Kim wrote about how Elon Musk is unleashing a deluge of money to boost Republicans in Texas and elsewhere as the midterms threaten to put the GOP’s control of Congress — and the spigot that Republicans have used to shower Musk with federal benefits— at risk.
特朗普政府的乌克兰政策 随着唐纳德·特朗普总统继续以令人不安的方式向俄罗斯强人弗拉基米尔·普京低头，其政府成员——主要是国务卿马尔科·鲁比奥——正试图淡化有关特朗普团队寻求阻碍乌克兰抵御俄罗斯入侵的指控，例如不共享情报、延迟交付关键武器系统。《政治报》“数字黑脸”一个与“让美国再次伟大”（MAGA）运动有关的超级政治行动委员会被指控搞“数字黑脸”，因其在俄亥俄州参议院竞选中投放广告推广一位黑人社会主义候选人，该候选人的竞选活动可能会分走民主党提名人谢罗德·布朗的选票。
Trump administration’s Ukraine policy As President Donald Trump continues to bow to Russian strongman Vladimir Putin in disturbing ways, members of his administration — chiefly, Secretary of State Marco Rubio — are trying to downplay allegations that Team Trump has sought to hinder Ukraine’s efforts to fend off Russia’s invasion, such as by not sharing information and by delaying the delivery of crucial weapons systems. Politico‘Digital blackface’A MAGA-linked super PAC is has been accused of “digital blackface” for ads in Ohio’s Senate race promoting a Black socialist candidate whose campaign could draw votes from the Democratic nominee, Sherrod Brown.
Axios 亚利桑那州选举虚假信息 MAGA 阴谋论者推广一段视频，对马里科帕县监事会提出毫无根据的潜在选举不当行为指控。没有理由相信这些指控属实，但这并未阻止马里科帕县选举官员贾斯汀·希普试图让联邦调查局介入。这一闹剧凸显了 MAGA 运动利用阴谋论为中期选举中的联邦干预制造借口的做法。共和党寻在中期选举前向选民释放 AI 自动语音电话
Axios Election disinformation in Arizona MAGA conspiracy theorists promoted a video lobbing baseless accusations of potential election misconduct at the Maricopa County Board of Supervisors. There was no reason to believe the claims were true, but that didn’t stop Maricopa election official Justin Heap from trying to get the FBI involved. The fiasco spotlights the MAGA movement’s conspiracy theory-fueled push to establish a pretext for federal intervention in the midterms. The post Republicans look to unleash AI robocalls on voters before the midterms
