🗣️ “What I’m worried about with chronological feeds is that the algorithm can be gamed through engagement. When it comes to solutions, is a decentralized system” — Victoire Rio, What to Fix, at #UnveilTheTruth2026, during the panel “Monetising Attention.”

Information control is now moving toward something that is embedded inside the intermediary tools we use. Russia explicitly wants to export this system, and they are targeting countries to build large models.

🗣️ “In terms of AI, the question is: who controls the interpretation of information? What AI does is to summarize information for us, so it creates a great deal of control for any government." — Eto Buziashvili, from the Atlantic Council, during the panel.

With the new AI law in Russia, if developers want government contracts, they have to comply with Russia’s political environment. This will affect what the model answers to questions and what terms it uses to describe things.

“I do believe that knowledge-based preparedness is one of the most powerful tools in the resilience toolkit against disinformation.” — Oleksandra Tsekhanovska from the Centre for Information Resilience.
