Ukrainian developers have created the first English language AI tool to track and analyse Russian TV propaganda. Russia generates hundreds of pieces of propaganda every second. Disinformation precedes all wars launched by the aggressor country — in Ukraine, Syria, Georgia — and EU countries may be next.

Processing all the video and audio content produced by Russian propaganda sources manually is time-consuming and difficult, especially for foreigners who have to translate it before analysing it. But when new crimes against humanity are constantly emerging, time is running out: fast and automated solutions are needed. 

For this reason, the War of Words project was created — the first English-language tool based on artificial intelligence that allows analysis of more than a 100 thousand hours of content from TV, Telegram or RuTube in a few clicks.

"To effectively respond to Russian aggression, we have created a tool that will help policymakers, diplomats, media, and researchers clearly identify how Russia threatens the peaceful existence of the world. We aim to highlight how Russia uses disinformation," says Volodymyr Borodiansky, founder of the War of Words project, and former Minister of Culture, Youth, and Sports of Ukraine (2019–2020).

The developers of the tool provide open access to War of Words to all interested parties. It offers a structured cloud-based data storage with a 12-year archive of propaganda that is updated daily, the ability to search by keywords in English and the original language, and filter results by date, media type (TV, Telegram, RuTube), sources, programs, speakers, and other parameters. It also has dashboards that allow tracking all these data over time.

In the future, the team expects to expand the functionality by adding the ability to generate daily customised reports, such as tracking the hate index for selected countries or personalities, etc.

The War of Words project was created with the support of Microsoft Ukraine, which provided access to the resources of Azure cloud services.
