Dr Natasha Gooden examines disinformation in conflict, balancing human rights with unresolved questions on how international law applies to states’ use of ICTs.
Disinformation is not new — it merely has adapted to meet today’s technical and geopolitical realities. Disinformation is the purposeful dissemination of false information which has the intention to mislead or cause harm.
The use of disinformation through the creation and diffusion of deepfakes during conflict raises an increasing concern over AI’s potential to change the narrative of a conflict due to the distortion of information to undermine truths.
