Deepfakes and International Conflict
Brookings Institution, 2023
What's inside?
Technology makes disinformation – a staple of geopolitics and war – harder to detect and defend against.
Recommendation
Long used in military and geopolitical engagements, disinformation campaigns are today vastly more complex, thanks to artificial intelligence, machine learning and sophisticated technologies. Writing for the Brookings Institution, four foreign policy and computer science scholars explore the architecture of “deepfakes” and assess how technology is transforming the practice of adversarial messaging and deceptive intelligence. Anyone interested in a robust examination of geopolitics in an AI world will discover some important insights in this illuminating report.
