A Pro-Russia Disinformation Campaign Is Using Free AI Tools to Fuel a ‘Content Explosion’

A Russian chaos The campaign is earning artificial intelligence equipment to enhance “Contents to explode” to further enhance the existing tension surrounding global elections, Ukraine and immigration, among other controversial issues, among other controversial issues New research published last weekThe

Known by many names, including campaigns, Overload the operation And Martrium (Other researchers have also tied it Storm -1679), Has been working since 2021 and has come together with multiple groups with the Russian government Microsoft And Institute for strategic dialogueThe The campaign promotes the media outlets in disguise with the apparent goal of sowing department in democratic countries. Although the campaign noticed the audience around the world, Including the United StatesIts main goal is Ukraine. Hundreds of AI-manipulated videos of the promotion have tried to enhance the Russian-based description.

In the report, the content of the campaign that has been campaigning from September 2021 to May 2021 has increased dramatically and has received millions of views around the world.

In their report, researchers have identified 230 unique contents promoted by promoting by July 2023, including photos, videos, QR codes and fake websites. However, Operation Operation overload has been churning a total of 587 unique materials for the past eight months, most of which have been created with AI equipment, researchers say.

Researchers said that the spike was operated by consumer-grade AI equipment in content that was available online. This simple access helped to enhance the “content combination” of the promotion, where they were able to create multiple pieces of content by pushing the same story thanks to AI equipment.

“It has identified the change in the more scalpable, multilingual and growing sophisticated propaganda techniques,” London -based non -profit reset tech researchers, and the Finnish software agency, wrote in this report, a Finnish software company, researchers at Reset Tech. “The promotion has increased the production of new materials in the past eight months, indicating a change in the manufacture of rapid, more skeletal content.”

Researchers were also shocked to see the campaign that was following the various equipment and types of materials. Alexandra Atanoshova, the Open-Source Detective Researcher of the Regnet Tech told the wire, “Surprised to me is the diversity of content, they started using a variety of materials that they started,” Open-Source intelligence researcher Alexandra Atanasova called Reet Tech. “It’s like they diversified their palette in different corners like different stories. They are making different types of materials after another”

Atanosova has added that the promotion does not seem to be using any custom AI equipment to achieve their goals, but using AI-driven voice and image generators that are accessible to everyone.

It was difficult to detect all the equipment used by the promoters, especially the researchers were able to narrow the equipment: Flux AI.

Flux AI is a text-to-image generator that is a German-based company developed by the Black Forest Labs, a German-based company founded by former employees of stability. Using the spectacular image analysis tool, researchers have found 99 percent of the possibility that several fake images shared by overload promotion – some of which have claimed that Muslim immigrants in Berlin and Paris claim to be rioting and setting fire to Muslim immigrants – the image generation was created from AII.
