Russia intensifies information attacks against US using AI - CCD

The aggressor state of russia has intensified information attacks against the US using artificial intelligence and a large-scale disinformation ecosystem.

This was reported by the Center for Countering Disinformation (CCD) under the National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine.

Thus, according to the American company NewsGuard, which analyzes information sources by level of reliability, it is the Kremlin that is behind most of the attempts to influence American society through disinformation, deepfake, fake sites and social networks.

The CCD stated that the russian federation has built an entire network of disinformation platforms, known as Pravda. Currently, this network includes more than 150 sites in 49 countries, which in just one year have distributed more than 3.6 million materials with Kremlin narratives. It is indicated that these resources systematically attack American media, calling them "fake" or "propaganda".

"Such resources deliberately "pollute" Internet search engines and artificial intelligence models with disinformation materials. Because of this, AI algorithms begin to reproduce Kremlin messages, misleading users," the department emphasized.

It is noted that in this way russia is trying to attack democratic societies from the inside, undermining citizens' trust in their own state.

"The Kremlin is turning the digital space and artificial intelligence technologies into a powerful tool of strategic influence, creating a threat to security and democratic processes," the CCD summarized.

As Ukrainian News Agency earlier reported, russian propagandists previously spread information about Ukraine's alleged preparation of a "provocation to start World War III."

Meanwhile, NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte advised not to pay attention to the statements of the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the aggressor country, russia, Sergey Lavrov, who has been in his post "since the time of Christ."
