A pro-Russia disinformation campaign is exploiting readily available consumer-grade AI tools to generate and disseminate propaganda at an unprecedented scale. This 'content explosion' includes AI-generated images, videos, QR codes linking to deceptive websites, and entirely fabricated online presences. The ease and accessibility of these AI tools have lowered the barrier to entry for spreading disinformation, allowing for the rapid creation and distribution of misleading narratives that amplify pro-Russian viewpoints and sow discord.
