Generative AI has a plethora of well-documented misuses, from making up academic papers to copying artists. And now, it appears to be cropping up in state influence operations.
One recent campaign was “very likely” helped by commercial AI voice generation products, including tech publicly released by the hot startup ElevenLabs, according to a recent report from Massachusetts-based threat intelligence company Recorded Future.
The report describes a Russian-tied campaign designed to undermine Europe’s support for Ukraine, dubbed “Operation Undercut,” that prominently used AI-generated voiceovers on fake or misleading “news” videos.

The landscape of mental health care is undergoing a significant transformation. Traditional methods of treatment, while valuable, may fall short for some and leave those patients looking for more support. And despite the prevalence of mental-health disorders, patient care is still hindered by stigma, provider shortages, and high treatment costs.
Most patients with MDD are prescribed pharmacological treatments like SSRIs (selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors) or SNRIs (serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors), which primarily target chemical imbalances in the brain; however, recent research suggests that depression isn’t just about chemical imbalances.
To address these pressing challenges, prescription digital therapeutics (PDTs) are emerging as a transformative solution for managing mental health care and depression symptoms.
