Russia’s New Disinformation Campaign: AI-Powered Blogs and the Fight Against Cognitive Warfare
A surge in pro-Russian content on platforms like Substack exhibits striking uniformity in messaging, mirroring Kremlin narratives and often blaming NATO or portraying Ukraine negatively. The high frequency of near-identical posts across numerous blogs suggests coordination, potentially aided by AI-generated text. Strategic language switching to Russian further amplifies the reach and perceived authenticity of this disinformation campaign. This coordinated effort creates a distorted online landscape, masking its origins and giving a veneer of legitimacy to pro-Kremlin viewpoints.
