Artificial intelligence (AI) has become a significant factor in the disinformation related to the war in Ukraine, generating false images and manipulating chatbots like ChatGPT. Since the beginning of the conflict, disinformation has increased exponentially, and AI has transformed the way pro-Russian propaganda is disseminated. Expert Olga Petriv emphasizes that disinformation has evolved from the manual creation of fake news to automated operations, flooding the internet with false information that is then integrated into the responses of chatbots. This allows propaganda to "poison" the informational environment, forcing AI systems to reproduce lies as facts.

A notable example is the Pravda network, which publishes pro-Russian articles in dozens of countries, even influencing traditional media institutions. Additionally, advances in AI-generated imagery have led to the creation of content that is difficult to distinguish from reality, such as videos of Ukrainian soldiers that are, in fact, fake. These advanced technologies necessitate the use of specialized analytical tools to identify manipulations. The proliferation of AI-generated images can lead to the denial of real facts, creating a "presumption of falsehood" that affects the public's perception of truth. Disinformation campaigns have also been observed in various languages, suggesting a systematic organization behind these actions.
