People can easily make fake election-related images with artificial intelligence tools, despite rules designed to prevent such content. Politicians including US President Joe Biden and Mayor of London Sadiq Khan have found themselves victims of deepfakes. These are fake images or audio recordings generated by AI and have spread rapidly across social media. AI threatens to "supercharge" disinformation and incite violence at elections, the US deputy attorney general has warned. One of the so-called "godfathers" of AI Yoshua Bengio said he would have prioritised safety over usefulness had he realised the pace at which it would evolve.

The US Supreme Court has heard pointed arguments on whether a former president is immune from criminal prosecution over acts carried out while in office. Donald Trump, who is facing dozens of criminal charges across four cases, claims he - and all presidents - should have presidential immunity. Trump's trial on charges he tried to overturn the 2020 election is on hold while the Supreme Court considers his immunity claim. It may take several weeks to receive the Justices' decision, which will likely set a precedent for future US presidents.

The disgraced Hollywood mogul Harvey Weinstein's 2020 rape conviction has been overturned by New York's top court, on the basis that he did not receive a fair trial. The New York Court of Appeals found that prosecutors were allowed to call witnesses whose accusations were not part of the trial. The ruling said that meant he was tried on past behaviour and not solely on the crimes he was charged with. Weinstein, who is now 72, will remain in prison for a separate conviction for rape. He denies the allegations from Ashley Judd. The New York court reached its decision on Thursday.

The US secretary of State is in China aiming to put relations between the countries on a steadier footing. Antony Blinken has been in Shanghai holding meetings with business leaders. He's now heading to Beijing for talks with the country's foreign minister, Wang Yi. Although tensions have eased since last year, disagreements on issues such as trade and security remain. Blinken is visiting China less than a month before the inauguration of William Lai, the pro-sovereignty president of Taiwan reviled by Beijing, and there are concerns it would lead to a spike in tensions in the Taiwan Strait as well as the larger South China Sea.

The UN's human rights chief has said he is "horrified" by the destruction of Gaza's Nasser and al-Shifa hospitals and the reports of "mass graves" being found at the sites after Israeli raids. Volker Türk called for independent investigations into the deaths. Palestinian officials said they had exhumed 283 bodies at Nasser hospital, some with their hands tied. It is not clear how they died or when they were buried. Israel's military said claims that it buried bodies there were "baseless".But it did say that during a two-week operation at the hospital in the city of Khan Younis in February, troops "examined" bodies buried by Palestinians "in places where intelligence indicated the possible presence of hostages".
