Share link:In this post: Meta foils Russia use of AI for political influence campaigns The company has identified Russia as the leading user of automated tools for these campaigns on its platforms Meta crackdown is partly due to Russia history of influencing US elections in 2016
Meta, in a recent security report, says Russia is employing generative artificial intelligence (AI) tools for online deception campaigns about the US elections. The tech giant claims most of the efforts were unsuccessful, as it foiled the campaigns.
According to Meta, the generative AI strategies have brought minimal productivity and gains. This is because the company could detect and clamp down on coordinated inauthentic behavior (CIB) on its platform.
Meta identifies Russia as the primary source of political influence campaigns
The Meta Adversarial Threat Report for Q2 identified that most CIB campaigns on its platforms, particularly Facebook and Instagram, originated in Russia. Since 2017, the country has been responsible for 39 covert operations, while Iran and China come second and third with 30 and 11 operations, respectively.
These Russian campaigns relied heavily on fake accounts and pages, with one core tactic being acquiring multiple accounts. In terms of content, they all appear to have been propagating the same message since Russia invaded Ukraine in 2022—justifying the invasion.
