A pro-Russia disinformation campaign is leveraging consumer artificial intelligence tools to fuel a "content explosion" focused on exacerbating existing tensions around global elections, Ukraine, and immigration, among other controversial issues, according to new research published last week. The campaign, known by many names including Operation Overload and Matryoshka (other researchers have also tied it to Storm-1679), has been operating since 2023 and has been aligned with the Russian government by multiple groups, including Microsoft and the Institute for Strategic Dialogue. While the campaign targets audiences around the world, including in the US, its main target has been Ukraine. Hundreds of AI-manipulated videos from the campaign have tried to fuel pro-Russian narratives. The report outlines how, between September 2024 and May 2025, the amount of content being produced by those running the campaign has increased dramatically and is receiving millions of views around the world.

Welcome, dear art connoisseurs and digital wizards! Today, I present to you an exhilarating fusion of classical art and modern technology – a symphony of sight and sound that promises to captivate your senses. As the world of art continues to evolve, so too does the potential to breathe new life into the masterpieces of yore. Can you imagine the enchanting scenes of Van Gogh's Starry Night swirling in motion, accompanied by the soothing melodies of a nocturne? For the creative minds and generative AI enthusiasts among you, I invite you to embark on a journey to animate the strokes of revered artists and compose a harmonious soundscape that will make their paintings sing.

Art and technology have long been intertwined, and with the rise of artificial intelligence (AI), the relationship between the two has become even more complex. AI can now be used to generate unique pieces of artwork and designs, opening up new possibilities for artists and designers. In this article, we'll explore the use of AI for artists and designers, how AI-generated art and designs work, and 9 free AI tools that artists and designers can use to bring their ideas to life. AI is transforming the way artists and designers work, providing new opportunities for creativity and innovation. AI algorithms can generate unique designs, patterns, and even entire pieces of artwork, allowing artists and designers to explore new territories that were previously out of reach.

Artificial intelligence (AI) is being introduced in new fields, expanding the range of services and tools that can be applied in different domains. Below are eight free AI tools that are simple and quite easy to use. Midjourney is an AI-based program that creates images based on text descriptions. The tool is currently in open beta testing, which began on July 12. The entire image generation process now takes place on Discord, a free messenger that allows you to exchange voice, video, and text messages. To get the image, you need to provide a fairly accurate description, which requires certain knowledge and skills.

Organizations failing to adopt AI risk falling behind in their markets. Even without the budget for it, advancing the AI know-how in your organization must include democratizing AI so it can become the province of everyday operations, and not just data scientists. "'Democratization' can be a dirty word," wrote blogger Chrissy Kidd in 2019. "Some folks hear it and conjure up long conference calls or work meetings abuzz with words like synchronicity and alignment. On the much more positive side, however, democratization is a good thing, where a resource that is useful can become more readily available to the masses."

You don't need to be a rocket scientist to understand AI and its impact, but you should develop foundational knowledge about AI in order to help you vet new opportunities. To get started, check out this glossary to find simple definitions of common AI terms. When it's time to start thinking about AI-based projects, you can use use-cases to see what's already been done with the technology. To find the right use cases, you'll need to evaluate all the tasks you do in a day, then assess which ones are valuable to automate with AI. There are plenty of AI technologies you can start getting your hands dirty with, starting today, and experimentation is one of the best ways to develop your knowledge.

In 2016 84% of UK employees regularly worked beyond their contracted hours. Maybe that works for you if you have superhuman energy levels, but for most people it can be pretty gruelling. Working in consulting where the average number of working hours per week is 56.6, I would more often than not come home completely destroyed and want to collapse into bed. While some of that is part of the job, wouldn't it be awesome if we could use technology to reduce the workload and give us more time?

Google has just open-sourced its'Parsey McParseface' AI tool and it understands English Google has open-sourced its neural network framework, SyntaxNet to include new language parsing model for English, which it calls'Parsey McParseface.' This is a tool that developers can use to analyze English text. In other words, developers will be able to swindle with the underlying technology powering Google's powerful natural language software so that apps, voice assistants and robots can better comprehend what English-speaking users want. "One of the main problems that makes parsing so challenging is that human languages show remarkable levels of ambiguity," Google says in a blog post. "It is not uncommon for moderate length sentences--say 20 or 30 words in length--to have hundreds, thousands, or even tens of thousands of possible syntactic structures. A natural language parser must somehow search through all of these alternatives, and find the most plausible structure given the context."
