AI Shield is a twelve-month initiative by the Caucasian Social Innovation Network Foundation and AIISA in Yerevan aimed at countering coordinated disinformation across the South Caucasus and Central Europe. The project launched in August with a closed three-day workshop where analysts mapped cross-border information operations, examined lessons from Poland, and dissected the risks of generative AI. Between October and December, a core group of analysts will complete a 54-hour train-the-trainers program in Armenian, preparing them to lead workshops for local journalists and civil society representatives starting in January 2027. The cycle will conclude in spring 2027 with an expert panel, an analytical report, and a trilingual open-access toolkit published in Polish, English, and Armenian.
