Staunton, Oct. 16 – The share of articles in the Russian media with AI generated content has grown from les than 0.1 percent at the end of 2022 to 18 percent in the second quarter of 2026, according to Kirill Pshinnik who examined more than 250,000 articles from 174 Russian publications.
The co-founder of the Zerokoder online university used two open AI-text detectors, OpenPangram-2B and Qwen3-4B-Detect and then combined their findings to identify which articles showed the presence of AI-generated materials (forbes.ru/tekhnologii/570361-neceloveceskim-azykom-pocti-20-statej-v-rossijskih-smi-imeut-priznaki-ii-generacii).
According to Pshinnik, articles with AI-generated content were on average significantly shorter than articles not including such content, less likely to include quotations from anyone, and less commonly found in major news stories than in those about everyday life, although they have been increasing in number in the former as well.
He and others expect the share of articles with AI-generated content to continue to increase and suggest that such content will allow publications to do more with less and therefore is not always the danger that many think. At the same time, however, journalists, editors and readers need to be aware that this content is different and limit its negative impacts.
