good question
Does espionage lower your popularity with the AI?
So everyone knows there is a handful of things you can, and cannot do to keep your world popularity from tanking and having every AI player declare war on you and cut you off from the international markets.
But what effects does espionage have on your popularity?
1- if you put a spy on military/economic, sabotage mission in a AI country, does this lower your popularity with that country?
1.1 - What if the country doesnโt know where the spy came from?
1.2- if you put a spy on military/economic sabotage mission in a popular AI country, does that lower your popularity with other AI countries?
2- does intelligence gathering lower your popularity?
2.1 - If I am gathering intelligence on a popular AI country, will all other countries dislike this?
2.2 - If I am gathering intelligence on a neighboring AI country, and they find out, will this lower my popularity with them?
This popularity thing with AI is very hard to work with.
If there could maybe be a section in the espionage tabb that shows you what factors are working for or against you with each country? Idk

Yes good question I haven't thought of testing spies for AI. I have a list of spy questions I already have for human player interactions and hard to test.
Will add this to my list tho and see if verifiable. Cheers

Here is one data point. I had 6 military sabotage spies in 6 provs of an AI (Italy). I got reveal all and one of the spies was caught. Italy's stance on my country was 69% before and after day change, so in this case it didn't seem to affect popularity.
