How russia uses AI for manipulation after their missile attacks
russia boosts use of AI for manipulation after massive strikes on civilians
The Center is recording a growing number of AI-generated images allegedly showing “victims” of russian attacks.
These posts have nothing to do with real casualties. They are spread by anonymous accounts that artificially inflate engagement and are later used to disseminate pro-russian narratives.
The Center has previously reported on russia’s use of AI-generated videos and photos in disinformation campaigns and the risks they pose.
Using AI to produce emotionally charged fakes has become one of the key trends in russian influence operations. The goal is to undermine society’s ability to distinguish real events from fabricated content, erode trust in official sources, and create an information noise in which truth is harder to find.
