AGP Executive Report
Last update: 2 hours agoAI Campaigns: AI-generated “slopaganda” is spreading ahead of the November midterms. Candidates and supporters have spent more than $80 million on over 164 AI-made ads, according to a tracker cited by NYU researchers. Even obvious fakes can shape voters’ impressions and trust; some feature fabricated versions of Gov. Kathy Hochul and Mayor Zohran Mamdani. Quantum Computing: Rutgers and IBM researchers demonstrated a quantum computer checking and resetting parts of itself while running—a key step toward systems that can correct errors and operate reliably at larger scale. NYC Surveillance: Civil-rights groups are seeking answers about NYPD use of Flock Safety cameras, which log passing vehicles’ locations and details, including for drivers not suspected of crimes. Classroom Technology: NYC has granted a first exception to its young-student device ban, allowing CUNY Reading Fellows to continue virtual tutoring for early-grade readers who cannot readily receive in-person help.
