Voices generated by artificial intelligence became the key tool of the propaganda campaign.

Recorded Future claims that the organizers used ElevenLabs technology to create audio in various European languages without accent, including English, German, French, Polish.

The researchers found that several videos were voiced by real people. This became clear through a noticeable Russian accent.

Recorded Future specializes in collecting, analyzing and predicting cyber threats using AI and machine learning to monitor exposed information in real time.
