hello and wonderful Wednesday to you I'm
KY wire bringing you best 10 minutes in
news right here on CNN 10 it is your
word Wednesday so listen to see if your
word submission made it into Today's
Show we start with the year of the
election 2024 and not just here in the
United States many countries around the
world are having having their own
important national elections this year
nations with people heading to the polls
this year include some of the most
powerful and wealthiest countries in the
world as well as the most populous like
India South Africa Mexico and in Europe
where the United Kingdom is leaning
towards elections later this year and
countries with hundreds of millions of
Voters will be headed to the polls to
elect a new Parliament for the European
Union one of the major concerns with
elections this year is advanced
technology particularly artificial
intelligence and how it has the
potential to persuade and even mislead
voters with disinformation AI generated
fake videos Deep fakes could trick
voters into believing they are watching
and hearing a presidential candidate
when in reality they are not yesterday
in the US voters in Georgia Hawaii
Mississippi and the state of Washington
cast their ballots in their respective
primaries it's expected that both
President Joe Biden and former president
Donald Trump will clinch their party's
nomination let's turn now to our Simon
Cullen who breaks down this crucial
election year for several Nations across
the
world 2024 is an election year like none
other we will turn the page Forever on
the miserable nightmare of the
Biden presidency Donald Trump sees a
different America an American story of
resentment revenge and retribution while
the US president presidential race might
be the highest profile it's just one of
dozens taking place internationally
covering more than half the world's
population for many countries the health
of their democracy itself will be being
put to the
test and the outcome has the potential
to reshape International Affairs on a
scale rarely seen while the results of
some elections are all but guaranteed
others will be a genuine contest meaning
a relatively small shift in voter
support could affect the outcome that
amplifies the potential impact of
disinformation and experts warn that
risk is made even more significant by
the fact that these elections are
coinciding with a boom in artificial
intelligence that brings with it the
prospect of deep fake content like this
this is an AI generated video showing
just how far technology has come in
recent
years even Russian President Vladimir
Putin appeared momentarily surprised
when confronted by a computer generated
version of himself people should be
scared because the technology is
enabling the creation of fake videos
that could be very persuasive with the
ordinary voters people are not going to
be able to distinguish the fake videos
from real ones are governments ready for
what's coming down the line governments
are not ready uh there are literally no
guard rails in place that's prompted
dozens of technology companies to step
in signing an cord aimed at combating
the misuse of artificial intelligence in
elections democracies depend on free and
fair elections free and fair elections
depend on trustworthy information and
trustworthy information depends on
transparency about the nature and the
Providence of that information the
Accord requires the world's leading tech
companies to develop tools to help
identify and label AI generated content
they've also agreed on the need to
respond more quickly when deceptive AI
generated material spreads online but
even they concede the task ahead won't
be easy we are
combating not just individuals
unfortunately but well resourced Nation
States including one in
particular even though the Kremlin
denies it countless intelligence reports
confirm Russia's election interference
efforts but the Microsoft president
warns Russia's level of s sophistication
is growing fueled by advances in
artificial
intelligence Pop Quiz Hot Shot what does
the standardized tests used for college
admissions in the US the SAT stand for
school achievement tests Scholastic
aptitude tests standard aptitude trial
study and
Triumph if you said Scholastic aptitude
test you are on your way to a perfect
1600 the highest score you can get on
the SAT no need to bring your number two
pen to an SAT anymore because this
college admissions test is now fully
digital test takers still have to be
there in person and supervised so no
badage with friends during the test the
SAT will be taken on a laptop or tablet
and the exam will be shorter where it
was 3 hours before it's now down to two
it will still be based on a 1600 point
scale and the results will come back
sooner in a matter of days instead of
weeks but a concern for some this
digital version is also adaptive meaning
it will serve harder questions the
better you do which some students say
increases test anxiety and overthinking
these changes from the College Board are
an effort to make this standardized test
more accessible to students as many
colleges made it optional to submit
standardized test scores especially
during the pandemic more Elite
universities have announced a shift in
now requiring students to include these
test scores with their applications but
on the other side some critics believe
standardized tests can be a disadvantage
for lower income students because they
may have limited resources to study and
prepare for these
tests for today's story getting a 10 out
of 10 we're going to a Starbucks in
Washington DC that's the only one of its
kind in the US it was designed with the
death and heart of hearing communities
