EXCERPT:
KIRBY: “It’s much more sophisticated than what we’ve seen out of the Russians in the recent past, certainly than what we saw in 2016. Yes, they’re using social media, but they’re much more pervasive at it, creating false persona, using artificial intelligence to help drive content and distribute content, and they’re much more resourced and organized. Using RT, what was formerly just a propaganda organ for the Kremlin, now has turned into a full covert influence activity with full funding to do this kind of work by funneling resources and organizing editorial content in actual media outlets. In one case, a media company here in the United States. So, it’s a — it’s a bigger effort. It’s certainly more sophisticated and better resourced.”
