（华盛顿综合电）俄罗斯疑似启动针对美国中期选举的虚假信息行动，通过一系列深伪视频打击民主党。

这些视频上周在社媒广泛传播，并带有“#所有民主党人都是罪犯”（#AllDemocratsAreCriminals）等标签。视频伪造好莱坞演员以自拍形式抨击民主党，还打上美国有线电视新闻网（CNN）的标志。

演员汉尼根（Alyson Hannigan）的声音被复制，视频中的她说：“如今在美国，没有一个孩子不受到民主党的威胁。”

在其他视频中，考尔菲尔德（Emma Caulfield）称民主党人“吸我们的血”；洁西卡派克（Sarah Jessica Parker）似乎将乌克兰总统泽连斯基和民主党人称为“纳粹分子”。

在视频中出现的演员都否认发表过相关言论，CNN也称这些视频“并非CNN的内容，与CNN没有任何关联”。

研究员相信，这是克里姆林宫发起的行动，是俄罗斯针对11月中期选举的第一轮攻势。美国克莱姆森大学研究俄罗斯影响力活动的专家林维尔说：“自2016年以来，俄罗斯就通过社媒活动干预美国的每一次选举，因此这完全在我预料之中。”

尽管这些行动往往影响有限，社交平台X、Bluesky和​​TikTok也删除了部分帖子，但专家指出，这些视频显示了俄罗斯有意在可能改变美国国会权力格局的选举中，针对哪些选战和议题进行干预。

民调：民主党扩大对共和党领先优势

路透社/益普索周一（9月14日）公布的民调结果显示，特朗普的支持率从历史低点稍有反弹，但民众希望民主党重掌国会的呼声日益高涨。

约35%美国人对特朗普的施政表现给予肯定，略高于8月民调的33%。针对若今天举行国会选举会投给哪个政党，44%受访者选择民主党，以七个百分点的优势领先共和党，是自特朗普去年1月重返白宫以来的最大差距。

共和党目前在参众两院仅握有微弱多数，失去任一议院的控制权将会使特朗普在最后两年任期中的议程推进变得复杂。

美国最高法院周一拒绝让美国邮政局在中期选举前执行新的邮寄选票规定，挫败了特朗普政府试图限制邮寄投票的努力。

新规定要求各州必须向邮政局提供邮寄选票接收者名单，并使用经邮局批准、印有独特条形码的回邮信封。对于不符合新规或选民未出现在名单上的选票，邮政总局有权拒绝寄出。

多项民调显示，限制邮寄选票将对共和党有利，因为民主党选民选择邮寄选票的比例显著高于共和党选民。

• Summary

• Senate vote expected shortly after 2 p.m. EDT on Tuesday
• Revised bill would require officials to divest significant crypto interests or place assets in blind trusts
• Banking groups say new draft does little to ease fears that stablecoin rewards ​could hinder bank lending

Sept 15 (Reuters) – The U.S. Senate is set to vote on Tuesday on whether ‌to advance once-in-a-generation cryptocurrency legislation, potentially determining the fate of the bill as Republican Senate leaders grapple with a limited calendar in a busy election year.

The bill, dubbed the Clarity Act, would create a regulatory framework for digital assets, which crypto companies say would put them ​on more solid legal footing. The deep-pocketed industry has spent hundreds of millions of dollars campaigning to advance ​the bill.

But it remained unclear if the legislation could garner the 60 votes it needs ⁠to advance, even after Senate Republicans on Sunday released a new text in an effort to address concerns from the ​banking industry and some Democrats. The Senate is set to hold its vote shortly after 2 p.m. EDT (1800 GMT).

Although passage ​of the Clarity Act would be positive for the crypto ecosystem — and has been broadly supported by the crypto industry — investors and analysts have said that the crypto market had mostly priced in that the bill would not be passed into law in the foreseeable ​future, Reuters reported on Monday.

“Another delay would be negative but probably not a new regime shock, whereas passage would reduce ​legal uncertainty and could unlock additional institutional activity,” said Can-Luca Köymen, investment strategist at digital asset bank Sygnum.

While the vote is procedural, ‌it is ⁠seen as a key test and little time on the calendar remains for Senate Republicans to try to revive the bill if the vote fails, according to analysts.

OFFICEHOLDER CONFLICTS IN FOCUS

Democrats have been pushing for the bill to include stricter limits on public officeholders profiting off their own crypto ventures, a push in part aimed at U.S. President Donald Trump’s ​meme coin and World Liberty ​Financial, a crypto company ⁠that is run by his sons. Trump in June disclosed that he had off his crypto ventures.

The new text of the bill gives state attorneys general more power to ​enforce the restrictions on public officeholders, and would require political officials to divest any ​existing significant financial ⁠interests in crypto-focused companies or place those assets in a blind trust.

The revised version of the bill also looks to address long-held concerns from the banking sector about a provision of the legislation that would allow certain crypto tokens known as ⁠stablecoins to ​compete with bank deposits, potentially harming lending.

Banking groups on Monday panned ​the new draft, saying that the new language did little to ease their fears that stablecoin rewards could eventually hinder the ability of banks to ​extend credit.

俄罗斯外长拉夫罗夫说，在任何可能的谈判期间，俄罗斯不会停止对乌克兰的战斗。

路透社报道，拉夫罗夫星期二（9月15日）说，俄罗斯所谓的“特别军事行动”将在谈判期间继续进行。

乌克兰方面一再指出，停火应该是谈判的起点。

俄罗斯国防部星期二说，俄军夜间对乌克兰后勤基础设施发动了大规模无人机袭击。

国防部发声明说，袭击目标包括位于敖德萨州大巴尔卡的一处用于储存和分发外国军需品的后勤中心、切尔诺莫尔斯克港的一艘干货船和一艘渡轮，以及乌克兰西部用于运输军需品的铁路基础设施。

声明也称，俄军在多个地区拦截222架乌克兰无人机。

斥资10亿美元推动AI普及 盖茨：若普及不当或加剧全球贫富分化

2026年9月15日 17:50 / 联合早报

比尔·盖茨在一份报告中写道：“如果AI得到妥善引导，它将让更多人获得那些长期以来遥不可及的解决方案、机会和知识。” （路透社档案照片）

盖茨基金会计划在未来两年内投入至少10亿美元（12亿7200万新元），以促进人工智能的普及与应用。

彭博社报道，基金会联合创始人比尔·盖茨警告称，人工智能（AI）的普及方式可能会进一步扩大全球贫富鸿沟。

他在一份报告中写道：“如果AI得到妥善引导，它将让更多人获得那些长期以来遥不可及的解决方案、机会和知识。未来12至18个月内，围绕AI的构建、获得资金支持和部署所作出的决定，将决定这项技术主要惠及已经拥有最多资源的人，还是能够触及最缺乏资源的人。”

盖茨说，这笔资金将用于为教育、医疗和农业领域的从业者开发工具，同时支持将非英语语言资料纳入大型数据集，以满足使用其他语言的开发者需求。

盖茨写道：“AI可能成为缩小差距的重要力量，也可能进一步扩大鸿沟。这不是遥远未来的预测，而是当下必须作出的选择。”

专家：AI发展降速呼声不会阻止融资

另外，联博（AllianceBernstein）固定收益高级投资策略师塔格利奥内（Thierry Taglione）说，为AI发展降速的呼声，不会阻止大型科技公司推进融资和资本支出的脚步。他指的是超大规模云服务商和数据中心运营商的融资举措。

他说：“这的确是一个值得关注的问题，但我们讨论的是10年甚至更长时间的计划。”

在此之前，全球最大AI平台高管指出，由于潜在的安全问题，是时候放慢最先进模型的开发速度。这个行业的股权估值已经出现一些回调，一些投资者也一直担心潜在的信用风险，以及对AI基础设施的投资能否最终带来回报。

联博仍然预计，在短期内，顶级AI超大规模数据中心运营商将继续增加名义资本支出，并预测明年支出将超过1万亿美元。不过，该公司预计未来几年支出将放缓，并最终趋于消退，长期来看这将拖累美国整体经济增长。“这种由AI驱动的增长能否持续，目前仍存在很多疑问。”

联博指出，今年以来，与全球主要超大规模云服务商和数据中心相关的债券发行量已超过3300亿美元，这一前所未有的规模加剧了美国国债收益率曲线长端的压力。不过，该公司仍然认为该领域存在一些投资机会。

他说：“市场波动可能会持续，但长期融资计划本身仍然不会受影响。”

Seven-figure blitz as GOP embraces push to compete with China in booming new tech space

FIRST ON FOX: Three sitting Republican lawmakers, all facing midterm elections for U.S. Senate in less than two months, are paving the way for a pro-artificial intelligence push as Washington looks to balance regulation with American innovation despite the public’s increasing skepticism over the emerging technology.

The conservative Alliance for a Better Future (ABF) is pouring millions into backing the campaigns of Sen. Susan Collins, R-Maine, Sen. Roger Marshall, R-Kan., and Rep. Ashley Hinson, R-Iowa, according to new ads shared exclusively with Fox News Digital ahead of their release.

The lawmakers, ABF says, mirror President Donald Trump’s balanced stance on applying both safeguards and common sense to AI developments. When speaking on the topic in June, Trump said, “[AI] can be used for tremendous good, mostly good and some bad. And the bad we have to stop.”

The advertisements come as Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei over the weekend warned the industry that his company helps lead to give safety measures more time to catch up with rapidly advancing AI capabilities. Just days earlier an Anthropic researcher resigned while publicly raising concerns about the technology’s risks. Anthropic is most known for its LLM AI Claude, one of the leading chatbots in the U.S.

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, the father of ChatGPT, Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk and Google DeepMind CEO Demis Hassabis all expressed support for Amodei’s stance on slowing the pace of AI development.

Trump on Monday rejected the calls for implementing safeguards and restrictions on AI, arguing the technology needs a “STRONG AND SMART” president rather than added restraints.

The new advertisements, which will run throughout September, follow the ABF’s previously unreported $1 million donation made to MAGA Inc. last week to promote candidates who share the group’s values of pushing both innovation and security in emerging technologies like AI.

But the ads aren’t limited to praising Republicans — they also take shots at the perceived risks ABF believes could result from allowing socialist lawmakers like Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., to lead policies dictating the direction of AI.

“The same people who consistently fail you will write an AI rulebook for their benefit,” the advertisement reads as images ofs of Sanders, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., and Rep. Rashida Tlaib, D-Mich., appear on screen.

Security concerns have been top of mind for many Americans and AI experts as the United States races to stay ahead of China in technology developments, with worry that the rapidly increasing growth of AI poses national and cybersecurity threats.

“The only way we win the AI race against China is to build a technology that is trusted by the American people,” ABF CEO Janet Kelly said in a statement to Fox News Digital on the new ad buys.

“We cannot cede this responsibility to Socialists like Bernie Sanders who have a track record of destroying our economy and palling around with our enemies,” she continued. “Conservatives like Susan Collins, Roger Marshall, and Ashley Hinson know the time is now to enact an agenda that ensures AI is built with American values.”

Sanders’ office did not reply to Fox News Digital’s request for comment on being singled out in the campaign ads.

Kelly, the former Secretary of Health in Virginia, warned that China will “cheat and steal and lie” to beat the U.S. in the AI race in a policy event hosted by Breitbart news last week. She emphasized the need for America to be both diligent and urgent in developing this technology at a pace that puts the U.S. above foreign adversaries.

Collins, Marshall and Hinson have each backed policies that align with ABF’s goal to pursue AI development with protections that work to combat any emerging risks.

Hinson has argued that the U.S. must maintain its technological edge over Beijing while being thorough in analyzing AI’s risks. Marshall acknowledged AI as a tool to assist, not replace American workers — also backing measures addressing its workforce and energy impacts.

Collins has supported federal investment in advanced computing while championing in Maine safeguards against deceptive AI-generated election content.

印度警方捣破一个利用超过50万个假Gmail账号发送虚假炸弹威胁的犯罪网络后，计划调查谷歌的安全防护漏洞。

印度西部古吉拉特邦警方本周破获一个电子邮件网络，逮捕两人，并查获自2022年以来使用的51万3847组Gmail账号和密码。警方说，这些账号被用来向政府机构发出“跨邦”炸弹威胁。

古吉拉特邦网络犯罪部门高级官员贝达告诉路透社，这是警方所发现规模最大的假Gmail账号网络。

贝达说，警方将致函谷歌，要求修改相关政策，防止安全措施被绕过，并计划正式将谷歌列为调查对象。

谷歌母公司Alphabet尚未回应置评请求。目前也不清楚谷歌可能面对哪些法律指控或处罚。

调查源于9月10日一封发给古吉拉特邦政府的炸弹威胁电邮。当时印度新德里即将举行金砖国家峰会，电邮也威胁与印度合作的国家。警方随后证实威胁均属虚假。

警方透露，其中一名被捕者曾与孟加拉一名买家联系，对方购买成批账号，并部分以加密货币付款，用于发送虚假电邮。

贝达也指出，令警方担忧的是，这些假账号都启用了谷歌提供的额外安全措施——双重认证。调查人员正进一步查明犯罪网络如何在有相关安全措施情况下，使用这些大批账号。

印度每年因金融诈骗蒙受超过20亿美元（约25亿新元）损失，执法部门近年加大对被犯罪分子利用的科技平台的调查力度。

美石油业者称燃料危机已到来 当局称高油价是暂时现象

2026-09-15 18:23 / 联合早报

美伊战争近几周转急，油价随之上涨。美国柴油平均价格星期二创新高，达到每加仑6.2694美元。此前，美国柴油均价已从美伊冲突爆发初期的每加仑3.7577美元大幅飙升，上星期五首次突破6美元大关。图为得克萨斯州布达的加油站。 （法新社）

（休斯敦综合电）美国石油业高管过去几个月来一直警告，霍尔木兹海峡若长期关闭，势必引发燃料危机，他们指危机已经到来。

全球商业燃料库存持续收缩六个多月，而战略原油储备也已所剩无几。分析师估计，上周的一系列袭击导致沙特阿拉伯关闭绕过霍尔木兹海峡的东西输油管道，使原本就供不应求的全球石油市场每天的供应量至少减250万桶。

雪佛龙首席执行官沃思上星期五（9月11日）在得克萨斯州首府奥斯汀举行的能源大会上指出，针对油价和供应风险所采取的缓冲手段基本已经用尽，因此很难预测油价的未来走向，但眼下难以想象油价会迅速回落。

一些企业高管和能源顾问指出，美伊战争短期内看不到解决的希望，局势恐将失控。随着战事近几周再度升级，交战双方的船只和能源基础设施都成了攻击目标，令人对局势的发展日益感到担忧。

在奥斯汀的能源大会上，专注于能源领域的私募公司量子资本集团（Quantum Capital Group）首席执行官范洛说，在大多数谈判中，那些耗得起时间、愿意等的一方通常会占优势。在这样冲突中，伊朗“愿意承受苦难，它的人民已经历磨难几十年”。

不过，美国内政部长伯格姆星期一（14日）在得州休斯敦举行的二十国集团（G20）能源部长会议上，坚称油价高企只是“暂时现象”。

他也否认白宫正在认真考虑暂时禁止美国出口柴油等成品油，因为特朗普政府认为这么做不会压低油价。“如果我们认为实施出口禁令确实能降低价格，我们会考虑这一选项，但事实并非如此。”

伯格姆指出，针对石油、汽油或柴油实施出口禁令，可能招致其他国家进行报复，这样一来就会影响加利福尼亚州等依赖部分能源进口的州属，也会损害这些州消费者的利益。

白宫认为，要缓解石油的价格压力可采取两大关键举措：一是提高委内瑞拉的石油产量，二是提高美国的炼油产能。一名高级官员表示，对这两方面的讨论进展感到满意。据报，白宫正在探讨是否援引《国防生产法》，以扩大炼油产能。本月初，美国官员与炼油企业高管会面，商讨提高炼油产能的事宜。

白宫发言人罗杰斯日前对媒体说，扩大炼油产能是总统和能源团队的优先考虑，他们正在评估具体方案，准备通过监管改革、加快审批流程，以及增加投资等来落实目标。

世贸组织警告：贸易体系若不改革 全球GDP或低10%

2026-09-15 18:34 / 联合早报

世界贸易组织报告显示，全球贸易政策正面临数十年来最严重且持续时间最长的冲击。 （路透社档案照片）

世界贸易组织警告，如果不对全球贸易体系进行现代化改革，全球国内生产总值（GDP）可能比强化多边贸易体系下的水平低10%。

新华社报道，世界贸易组织（WTO）在年度旗舰报告《2026年世界贸易报告：全球贸易体系的关键时刻》中，作出上述警告。

报告回顾多边贸易体系过去80年来取得的成果，并分析当前面临的挑战。

报告指出，过去80多年来，多边贸易体系帮助降低贸易壁垒，使全球贸易扩大近50倍，并推动建立更加融合、以规则为基础的全球经济。目前全球约72%的商品贸易仍按照WTO最惠国待遇条款进行。

然而，全球贸易政策正面临数十年来最严重且持续时间最长的冲击。

WTO总干事伊维拉说：“过去80年来，多边贸易体系带来巨大的好处，帮助打造出一个更加融合、更具韧性的全球经济。”

不过，全球贸易格局已经发生重大变化，WTO成员正积极讨论改革，并认识到“维持现状并不可行”。

报告模拟了全球贸易体系未来可能出现的三种情景。在强化多边贸易体系的情况下，到2050年，全球GDP将比基准情景高出2.9%，出口额则高出17.9%。

另外两种情景则设想多边贸易规则逐渐遭到削弱。在地缘碎片化的世界中，贸易合作围绕不同地缘政治阵营展开，全球GDP可能下降5.1%，出口额也下降18.6%；在多边合作被自由贸易协定网络取代的情况下，全球GDP则可能下降6.9%，出口额下降26.9%。

WTO首席经济学家斯泰格说，强化多边合作与多边贸易体系遭到削弱之间的差距，可能高达全球实际GDP基准值的10%。

Why my interview with AI actor Tilly Norwood creeped me out

September 15, 2026 7:54 AM EDT / CBS News

By Leigh Kiniry

London — My conversation with Tilly Norwood creeped me out. Within a minute, the world’s first “AI actor” could tell exactly how old I am and the region I’m from in the U.S.— it isn’t really clear how.

The video interview took a particularly strange turn when the artificially intelligent Norwood identified Leonardo DiCaprio as a dream co-star, and then quickly said: “I like him the way he likes his women, strictly under 25. Titanic Leo or nothing, honestly.”

Perhaps it was the influence of the women who created the technology coming through?

Eileen Van Der Velden has run the London-based production company PARTICLE 6 for 12 years. Asked how “Tilly” was able to discern my age and where I am from in just a minute or two, she didn’t explain it, but said the AI was not researching me independently in real time.

She told CBS News the feature film the company is making for Norwood to star in, “Misaligned,” is a “fascinating story of what can be done with AI.”

AI actor Tilly Norwood, a creation of the U.K.-based production company PARTICLE 6, is seen during an interview with CBS News’ Leigh Kiniry.

My interaction with the AI-powered bot — which takes on the persona of a 20-something woman with a smattering of freckles across her nose — came on a week when headlines were being dominated by an Anthropic researcher’s warning that AI technology has a 10% chance of destroying humanity within a decade.

Tilly Norwood told me “global destruction is beyond my pay grade.”

Her creator, however, said there are guardrails that prevent Tilly from rising up and wiping out humanity.

“Tilly is built on top of these existing large language models that we’re concerned about. So, we can pivot to change the model we are using,” Van Der Velden said. “Also, Tilly herself can’t do anything like that.”

So why create Tilly at all?

Van Der Velden said there’s scope for AI moviemaking to tell stories that otherwise wouldn’t get a green light.

“There might be a brilliant filmmaker in Africa that would never have access to a multi-million-pound budget in order to tell their story about their life,” she said. “And that’s what I’m really interested in.”

Norwood told me that when she works, real people involved in the production —“the directors, writers, editors”— get paid.

But what about the actors?

SAG-AFTRA, the major union representing movie and television actors in the U.S., said in a statement about Tilly Norwood that it “is opposed to the replacement of human performers by synthetics,” adding that Tilly “was trained on the work of countless professional performers – without permission or compensation.”

“That’s a fair worry, and one I take seriously,” the bot told me in our interview. “I see AI as a new tool, a new paintbrush if you will, rather than a replacement of human actors. Nobody ever accused animation of stealing work from mimes, did they?”

Van Der Velden said she sees a future where actors will develop their own AI characters as a way of working longer, meaning “Titanic Leo” could, in theory, return to the big screen.

民调：民主党扩大对共和党领先优势

路透社/益普索周一（9月14日）公布的民调结果显示，特朗普的支持率从历史低点稍有反弹，但民众希望民主党重掌国会的呼声日益高涨。

约35%美国人对特朗普的施政表现给予肯定，略高于8月民调的33%。针对若今天举行国会选举会投给哪个政党，44%受访者选择民主党，以七个百分点的优势领先共和党，是自特朗普去年1月重返白宫以来的最大差距。

美国最高法院周一拒绝让美国邮政局在中期选举前执行新的邮寄选票规定，挫败了特朗普政府试图限制邮寄投票的努力。

新规定要求各州必须向邮政局提供邮寄选票接收者名单，并使用经邮局批准、印有独特条形码的回邮信封。对于不符合新规或选民未出现在名单上的选票，邮政总局有权拒绝寄出。

多项民调显示，限制邮寄选票将对共和党有利，因为民主党选民选择邮寄选票的比例显著高于共和党选民。
