Social media videos believed to be produced with artificial intelligence and linked to Russia are misusing real people's names and photographs to spread disinformation about two Democratic Senate candidates in the final stretch of midterm voting.
One of the targets is Sherrod Brown, who is running against Republican Sen. Jon Husted in Ohio.
The video, which appears to include some AI manipulation, depicts a newscast and includes pictures of Haya Akbik, who interned for Brown several years ago, and other former staff members.
