The U.S. Department of Justice revealed a Russian propaganda scheme utilizing AI-generated content on social media to promote pro-Kremlin narratives, managed by a Russian intelligence officer and an editor at RT.
AI-driven tools are a growing concern as they enable the rapid creation of realistic content, with companies like Meta and OpenAI identifying foreign influence campaigns linked to Russia.
FBI Director Christopher Wray stated that Russia aimed to disseminate AI-generated disinformation through a bot farm to influence geopolitical narratives, particularly undermining support for Ukraine.
RT, the Russian state-owned media outlet, has been a channel for Russia's propaganda but faced reduced reach following the 2022 Ukraine invasion and EU bans on Russian media and tech firms.
