Experts are concerned the new crop of influential AI-created sites could quietly spread errors to millions of voters.

Some Middle Eastern powers are waking up to the threat to their sovereignty posed by a US system that consistently privileges Israel’s priorities.
It is early days, but for a Gulf state leader to call for a Gulf security pact that includes Iran,
