Moscow is training foreign journalists in the use of artificial intelligence to increase the production of content aligned with Kremlin narratives, according to a report published by the US Institute for the Study of War (ISW).
This training targets media professionals notably in Africa and Asia, regions where Russian media face sanctions or restrictions.
This strategy, described as “cognitive warfare,” seeks to build a global network of journalists capable of sustainably spreading Russian influence through media content produced with AI assistance.
The report emphasizes that this approach is designed over multiple generations, aiming for long-term influence in the international media landscape.
