Researcher warns of AI-driven propaganda on Telegram and TikTok in Ukraine
A researcher warns that Russia is increasingly using AI for propaganda and de-anonymization on platforms like Telegram and TikTok in Ukraine, fostering conflict and spreading anti-Ukrainian narratives.
A recent interview with researcher Yulia Dukach by [Радіо Свобода] highlights the growing threat posed by platforms like Telegram and TikTok in Ukraine, particularly concerning Russia's use of artificial intelligence for propaganda. Dukach, who specializes in bot networks and manipulative content, stated that AI can de-anonymize individuals using as few as 20 chat messages, indicating an era of diminishing online anonymity. She suggests that advancements in AI have enabled Russia to more effectively deploy bots to disseminate anti-Ukrainian narratives and exacerbate societal conflicts within Ukraine. The report underscores the challenge of identifying these Russian bots and the role of these platforms in spreading harmful content. Sources: Радіо Свобода
