About this listen

The NATO Strategic Communications Centre of Excellence's 2025 experiment reveals how AI has transformed social media bots from simple spammers into sophisticated actors capable of "psychological realism" and seamless integration into authentic human conversations. Researchers demonstrate that for as little as €10, manipulators can now generate mass-scale AI content and route funding through untraceable cryptocurrency exchanges to evade detection and purchase fake engagement across major platforms like X, TikTok, and Facebook. The episode explores the alarming shift from political spam to militarized narratives and explains why traditional detection methods are failing as synthetic actors move from broadcasting propaganda to embedding themselves within trusted community dialogues.
