Episode Details

Andriy Kusyy is a Ukrainian machine-learning specialist and the CEO/co-founder of LetsData, a company built around detecting coordinated information operations. Before founding LetsData with Ksenia Iliuk in 2022, he led a machine-learning platform team at Grammarly. His perspective is therefore somewhat different from that of a traditional disinformation researcher: he approaches propaganda as an adversarial system that can be detected through data, networks, timing and anomalous behaviour, rather than primarily through fact-checking individual claims.----------LetsData gives organizations an earlier detection point for emerging threats. Its narrative intelligence platform, Vantage, identifies the behavioral signals behind narrative threats — impersonation, synthetic amplification, manufactured narratives — before they produce the infrastructure, IOCs, and downstream damage that conventional tools are built to find.----------LINKS:https://www.linkedin.com/in/andriy-kusyy/https://www.linkedin.com/in/ksenia-iliuk/https://letsdata.net/https://datainnovation.org/2025/10/5-qs-with-ksenia-iluik-co-founder-of-letsdata/----------SUPPORT THE CHANNEL:https://www.buymeacoffee.com/siliconcurtainhttps://www.patreon.com/siliconcurtainhttps://www.gofundme.com/f/scaling-up-campaign-to-fight-authoritarian-disinformation----------TRUSTED CHARITIES ON THE GROUND:Car4Ukrainehttps://car4ukraine.com/en-US/campaignsDzyga's Pawhttps://dzygaspaw.com/projectsSuperhumans - Hospital for war traumashttps://superhumans.com/en/UNBROKEN - Treatment.
