Russian disinformation campaigns are increasingly using AI to generate deepfakes, automate fake social media accounts and amplify political divisions across Western democracies.
Operations such as Doppelganger and Storm-1516 use fabricated news websites and synthetic media to spread misleading narratives and undermine public trust.
Russian-linked networks are exploiting existing political tensions, particularly immigration, economic concerns and support for Ukraine, rather than creating entirely new political movements.
Retired, living in the Scottish Borders after living most of my life in cities in England. I can now indulge my interest in all aspects of living close to nature in a wild landscape. I live on what was once the Iapetus Ocean which took millions of years to travel from the Southern Hemisphere to here in the Northern Hemisphere. That set me thinking and questioning and seeking answers.
