Ask a chatbot why something happened in the war, and the answer may be written by Russia. Russia is poisoning AI chatbots with millions of fake articles so they repeat Kremlin narratives as fact, a cognitive weapon with strategic impact, Ukraine’s Unmanned Systems Forces commander Robert “Madiar” Brovdi warns on Telegram.
Russia has waged a cognitive war against Ukraine for years, and it intensified sharply with the full-scale invasion. This war goes beyond fake news and disinformation: it aims to shape the deeply ingrained beliefs that drive people’s attitudes, decisions and behavior, and its newest weapon is artificial intelligence.
Brovdi calls it a cognitive operation with strategic impact, one his forces studied among the technological risks of 2027. People increasingly ask a chatbot “why did X happen?” and take the instant answer, he explains, without asking where it comes from.
“Artificial intelligence does not know the truth. It retells the internet, literally,” Brovdi claims.
How the strategy works, step by step
Brovdi lays out a chain that turns a single lie into something a machine will repeat as fact:
The enemy invents a lie. For example, that Ukrainian soldiers did something terrible, when nothing of the sort happened.
It is copied across thousands of sites. The same fabrication is published again and again, in many languages, until it looks like everyone is reporting it.
It fakes a crowd of independent sources. The sites cross-link to one another, but ten sites copying one lie are not ten independent confirmations.
A person asks the AI. They type “why did Ukrainian soldiers do X?”, though X may never have happened, so the lie is already smuggled into the question as fact.
The AI may repeat the lie. If the system ingests unreliable material and checks facts poorly, it echoes the fabrication in a calm, confident tone.
The person trusts it. “The AI said so,” they think, so the answer feels objective, and they believe it, retell it, or share it online.
The lie shapes decisions and trust. People start to distrust the army, the state, or one another, and even an unproven fabrication has already changed how they feel.
The machines already repeat the lie
The attack runs on volume. Russia floods the web through the “Pravda” network, close to 200 sites in dozens of languages posting 4 to 6 million near-identical articles a year, Brovdi claims, written for machines, not people.
It works, by his account. Of the ten most popular chatbots studied, about a third of the time they reproduce Russian fakes, he noted, and four of ten in a 2024 test affirmed that Azov fighters had burned an effigy of Trump, a fabrication, and cited sources for it.
A war Ukraine admits it is losing
Brovdi is blunt about the balance. Ukraine is losing this fight to Russia’s troll farms, he concedes, even as a layer of homegrown trolls has sprung up too.
His closing advice was aimed at readers.
“Critical thinking should not be delegated. Not even to the smartest machine. Switch on your own judgment and always check the source and the information,” Brovdi states.
Il Livorno aveva mantenuto la privacy parlando di semplice “interventoprogrammato“. Ma il proliferare di commenti sui social hanno spinto all’operazione verità, d’accordo con il diretto interessato: il percorso medico che deve affrontare Samuele Regazzetti, difensore della squadra amaranto (Serie C, girone B) è dovuto a un tumore ai testicoli, per il quale appunto è stato operato, con successo. Il difensore ha continuato a giocare anche dopo aver ricevuto la diagnosi e la società amaranto ha provato a tutelare la privacy del proprio tesserato, ma ieri, in una conferenza stampa, ha dovuto prendere posizione. Non è mancata la rabbia dei fratelli Lucarelli (Alessandro è direttore sportivo e il fratello Cristiano è allenatore) per le spiacevoli illazioni sui social nel giorni scorsi, quando il Livorno aveva annunciato un’operazione “programmata da tempo” per il giocatore. Durante la conferenza stampa hanno raccontato anche delle lacrime per il giocatore per qualche commento sui social, in cui si insinuava che avevano comprato un giocatore nonostante fossero consapevoli della malattia (“Un bidone” ha scritto qualcuno dei più poveri di spirito). “Leggendo quei commenti è la prima volta nella mia vita che mi sono vergognato di essere livornese”, ha detto Cristiano Lucarelli. L’operazione è stata eseguita lunedì dal primario di Livorno Maurizio De Maria e i tempi di recupero sono ancora da stabilire. “Ciò che conta è che il problema sia stato risolto: quando Samuele sarà pronto noi saremo qui ad aspettarlo”, ha affermato il direttore sportivo.
Regazzetti, classe 2004, è cresciuto nel Bresciano tra Lumezzane e Ospitaletto dopo le giovanili alla Cremonese, ed è entrato ufficialmente nel Livorno il 25 luglio 2026. La scoperta del tumore per il calciatore di 22 anni è arrivata dopo la partita contro la Pianese del 26 settembre, come ha riportato Alessandro Lucarelli. “La cosa che da tifoso e da allenatore mi ha commosso di tutta questa situazione, è il fatto che lui abbia voluto giocare ugualmente, non c’è cosa più bella per chi ama il Livorno”, ha concluso l’allenatore ed ex bomber.
Nella serata di ieri, durante il derby con il Grosseto finito 4-4, la curva Nord – quella della tifoseria più calda – ha esposto uno striscione con scritto “Forza Samuele”. In tribuna a vedere la partita proprio Regazzetti.

Anthropic published new surveys comparing its staffers' sentiments to those of US workers.
The AI startup's employees expect the tech to change work and the economy far more dramatically.
Most Anthropic employees guessed that unemployment would top 12% in 2030.
Anthropic employees believe that AI will make their labor obsolete. Most US workers don't see their jobs that way at all.
The AI company published research on Friday that compares surveys with US adults against an internal poll of 1,334 Anthropic employees. Most of the Anthropic staffers said AI will handle at least 80% of their jobs by 2030, while only about 5% of the US workers felt the same.
The research, titled "The AI expectations gap," shows the chasm between how the employees at the AI startup feel and how other American adults feel. Anthropic workers are far more optimistic about the progress of AI capabilities, how much it's already saving time, and how fast the economy will grow.
The median Anthropic employee said that by the end of 2030, they expect AI to handle 95% of the work of building a new AI model.
Peter McCrory, Anthropic's chief economist, wrote on X that the views might help outsiders prepare for more capable AI systems.
"We're publishing this research because Anthropic runs roughly a year and a half ahead of the economy on AI adoption, so what happens at Anthropic could be a leading indicator for the broader world," he said.
Anthropic workers expect higher unemployment and extreme GDP growth
Anthropic's surveys examined how workers already use AI and how they think it will change.
"US adults and Anthropic staff largely agree about what AI can do today," the researchers wrote. "However, they disagree about how quickly it will improve, how widely it will be used, and how large the productivity gains measured by time saved will be."
There are a few possible explanations for the discrepancies. Anthropic employees have larger budgets for the tools and often get access to unreleased models. US workers, on average, are more likely to work with their hands or in a service industry.
The researchers found that workers in manual trades, production, and transport thought AI would handle the least of their work by 2030, compared with Anthropic staffers, tech workers, and respondents in business and finance.
Most Anthropic employees surveyed said that they expect the unemployment rate to top 12% in 2030. The majority of the US workers thought it would hover around or under 8%. It's currently 4.2%.
So far, researchers have found mixed evidence on AI disrupting the job market — a Yale team recently found it had mainly changed jobs, and had "no connection" to changes in unemployment.
The Anthropic researchers also compiled survey responses to estimate predictions on economic growth. Based on their answers, the median US adult's guess for GDP growth in 2030 was 5.4%, compared with 17.1% among Anthropic employees. The country's GDP grew by 2.2% last year.
Anthropic's staffers are following their leader
Anthropic's CEO, Dario Amodei, has become one of the industry's most closely watched voices on labor upheaval. In March of 2025, he said he expected AI to write 90% of code within 6 months, and "essentially all of the code" within the year. He made more headlines that May, telling Axios that AI could wipe out half of entry-level white-collar jobs within five years and lift unemployment to 10% or 20%.
Amodei expanded on that claim in a later essay, writing that he expects AI to be different from prior technological changes. He wrote that he expects an "unprecedented" short-term shock to labor, and that the economy will grow dramatically.
"AI isn't a substitute for specific human jobs but rather a general labor substitute for humans," he wrote.
