Influence campaigns powered by autonomous AI agents may soon become far harder to detect and stop, according to a new academic paper. Unlike traditional bot networks, these AI swarms mimic human behavior, adapt messages over time, and sustain subtle narratives—posing serious risks to public debate and platform governance.

Weak identity controls enable AI agents to scale across platforms with minimal detection risk. The study, published in Science, highlights the shift from easily spotted botnets to coordinated AI swarms that operate with little human oversight. Researchers emphasize the need for better coordination detection and clearer labeling of automated activity.
