AI-assisted infowars could psychologically sever the
former USSR’s Turkic populations from Russia
FSB chief Alexander
Bortnikov warned during a recent meeting of the Commonwealth of Independent
States (CIS) Council of Heads of Security Agencies and Special Services that
“The West seeks to disrupt integration processes and undermine stability in CIS
countries from within, making nations forget their shared history and trying to
pit them against each other in order to take the situation here under control.”
This is being advanced in part through new Western “digital laboratories” in
the CIS states.
In his words, “According to the
information we have, the Western intelligence community is behind programs
aimed at establishing a network of digital labs across the Commonwealth, tasked
with collecting and analyzing, using AI technologies, standard behavioral profiles
of the population, identifying areas of social tension, and modeling public
responses to various external factors, including government actions…One of the
goals being to implement adaptable scenarios of color
revolutions.”
This was foreseen in 2017: ”Russia is accused of ‘exploit[ing] marketing techniques to target individuals based upon their activities, interests, opinions, and values’ in order to ‘disseminate misinformation and propaganda’, but there’s nothing stopping the US from doing this either, nor in crafting the Holy Grail of Hybrid War by ‘integrat[ing] information derived from personal and commercial sources with intelligence collection and data analytic capabilities based on AI and machine learning’”.
