Russia's Propaganda Machine Deploys Pro-War AI Songs

GlobeAlert Desk · curated from RFE/RL · Eastern Europe

Russians using streaming music sites might find a new genre turning up in their feeds: AI-generated songs in support of Russia's military and the war in Ukraine. A study by a Ukrainian nonprofit, Terrecon, found nearly 1,000 songs in that category, and researchers say they are meant to generate patriotic sentiment, help mobilize new recruits, and even appeal to children.
