Tanker Struck in Hormuz; AI at the Ballot Box

The US attacked Iran one day after Tehran struck a commercial ship in the Strait of Hormuz, an exchange that threatened to break the fragile ceasefire between the two countries. US Central Command said that American aircraft on Friday hit Iranian missile and drone storage sites as well as coastal radar installations, calling it a “powerful response to yesterday’s attack.”

Also this weekend, artificial intelligence is barging into the workplace and transforming the battlefield. Now, it’s coming to the ballot box, promising to rewrite the DNA of politics.

On today’s show, Bloomberg This Weekend hosts David Gura, Christina Ruffini, and Lisa Mateo speak with:

- Bloomberg News White House Correspondent Jeff Mason on today's attack in the Strait, coming after the US renewed strikes on Iran.

- Emily Birnbaum, Bloomberg News Corporate Lobbying and Influence Reporter, on a growing number of AI-generated political advertisements in the midterm elections.

- Bloomberg Intelligence Consumer Staples Analyst Diana Rosero-Peña, on why Americans continue to spend more on their pets.

Plus, David, Christina, and Lisa Mateo play Pointed: The News Quiz for Risk Takers.
