These AI-generated fakes have risen significantly in recent times, with images being the most common format, and are often used to manipulate public opinion and influence viewers' emotions. The CCD notes that Russian propaganda is adapting its tactics to evade detection, citing the enemy's need for new ways to influence public opinion as a key factor in the increasing role of AI in Russia's information operations.

The order would establish a White House task force on AI education, led by Michael Kratsios and David Sacks, and instruct federal agencies to partner with industry, academia, and non-profits to teach students "foundational AI literacy and critical thinking skills." Education Secretary Linda McMahon is expected to prioritize grant funding for teacher training on using AI in the classroom. The move comes as concerns arise about the potential misuse of AI tools, which can lead to a lack of critical thinking among users, particularly if they rely solely on chatbots for information.
