The Threat of AI-Powered Disinformation to National Security

Today, advancements in AI have made it harder to detect disinformation, posing a threat to national security. AI-driven fake information can lead to nuclear confrontations and other security risks. Strategies to prevent AI-powered disinformation are crucial for protecting democracy, economy, and national security.
