Information Warfare: A U.S. Army Mad Scientist Series of Virtual Events

U.S. Army Futures Command, U.S. Army Training and Doctrine Command, and Georgetown Center for Security Studies

Join us for two Georgetown University panels on Bad Actors in the Information Space.

This series of events is in partnership with Georgetown University, Center for Security Studies. Join us for two Georgetown University panels on Bad Actors in the Information Space. First, The Content Blitz: Quantifying the Islamic State’s Impact on the Saudi Twittersphere with Henry Mihm, Inès Oulamine, and Fiona Singer. Their presentation will be followed by Deplatforming Deconstructed; A Typology for Technology Platforms with Maddox Angerhofer, Kristina Cary, Bilva Chandra, and Ido Wulkan.The information dimension is constantly changing with the explosion of data and hyper-connectedness enabled by social media, the Internet of Things, and emerging technologies. Weaponized Information will permeate our daily existence, fundamentally changing how we compete and fight. Today, actors seek to spread false information quickly in order to erode public trust in traditional alliances and institutions. In the near future, a comprehensive assault on authenticity could be achieved through disruptive technologies like deep fakes, artificial influencers, AI-generated news and dialogue, and virtual/augmented reality.
