🛡 Anthropic Reports Pro-Russian Propaganda via Claude in CAR
According to a September report by Anthropic, operators in Bangui, allegedly linked to Russia, generated pro-Russian content for Radio Lengo Songo using Claude: praise for CAR authorities and the "African Corps," and criticism of France and the opposition. According to the report, Claude refused to depict opposition figures as militants; Moscow denies the findings.
🌍 Analyzing such campaigns has become a standard function for the AI industry: indicators are published like those by antivirus vendors, and the cost of an influence campaign has dropped to "one operator plus an API."
👤 The report and CSV with indicators are open: "news" sites and radio broadcasts can be generated by a model — verify the source, not just the text.
