The U.S. Justice Department has revealed it has taken actions to takedown a sophisticated information operation powered by AI, reportedly orchestrated by Russia. According to the department, the operation involved nearly 1,000 accounts on the social platform X, which assumed American identities.

The operation is said to be linked to Russia’s state-run RT News network and managed by the country’s federal security service. The intention behind this was to “disseminate disinformation to sow discord in the United States and elsewhere,” as per the court documents.

Picture this: a security robot that’s always on duty, with eyes that never close and a focus that never wavers.

That’s Athena for you.

Developed by the folks at Kody Robots, Athena is like the superhero of surveillance robots. It’s got the brains of the most advanced artificial intelligence and can adapt to any security challenge thrown its way. Whether it’s day or night, rain or shine, Athena’s on the job making sure everything’s safe and sound.

Athena is equipped with four 18x zoom cameras, providing extensive surveillance capabilities. Its thermal imaging technology can detect temperatures ranging from 50 to 1022 ℉ (wide angle), ensuring that Athena can accurately identify heat signatures.
