Russia employs Claud for African propaganda and opposition surveillance

Anthropick, an American company, revealed in its latest report that Russian clients used the smart assistant "Claud" to influence politics in the Central African Republic. They monitored opposition figures, promoted pro-Russia propaganda, and supported disinformation campaigns. The content was directed through the Russia-backed "Lingo Songo Radio" station, aiming to depict opponents as armed elements and provoke security concerns, all while "Claud" attempted to avoid falling into negative portrayals. The report noted that this tactic has been ongoing for years and seeks to bolster Russian influence while weakening the opposition within the country. Additionally, the findings showed similar operations in other nations such as the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Kenya, Sudan, and Mali, utilizing AI technologies to generate content supporting their governments and attacking the opposition—efforts that "Anthropick" continues to monitor and attempt to block.
