In a recent CNN appearance, Jessica Brandt examines how artificial intelligence is changing the landscape of foreign influence campaigns. AI is giving foreign actors and the commercial firms that support them increasingly sophisticated tools to create personalized, persuasive content at greater speed and scale. These technologies can also make it more difficult to determine who is behind an influence operation, creating new challenges for governments, technology companies, and the public.
Brandt explains that the threat extends beyond simply identifying whether a piece of content is real or AI-generated. Understanding who is responsible for an influence campaign, why it was created, and what it is intended to accomplish is increasingly important. Her recent research has similarly highlighted how AI can help influence actors create multilingual content, synthetic personas, and credible-looking online infrastructure while making attribution more difficult.
With firsthand experience leading U.S. intelligence efforts to counter foreign malign influence, Jessica Brandt brings audiences an authoritative perspective on AI, national security, disinformation, and emerging technology. She helps leaders understand how these rapidly evolving threats could affect governments, businesses, and society. To learn more about hosting Jessica Brandt, contact WWSG.
