In an interview with Grid, Katerina Sedova unpacks how artificial intelligence improves disinformation campaigns.

Artificial intelligence offers enormous promise to address a number of societal challenges, but it can also exacerbate existing ones. CSET Research Fellow Katerina Sedova, and John Bansemer, CSET Senior Fellow and Director of the CyberAI Project, discussed countering the threat of automated disinformation.

Part two of CSET's "AI and the Future of Disinformation Campaigns" is now available with insights examining how advances in AI could be exploited to enhance operations that automate disinformation campaigns.

Artificial intelligence offers enormous promise to advance progress and powerful capabilities to disrupt it. This policy brief is the second installment of a series that examines how advances in AI could be exploited to enhance operations that automate disinformation campaigns. Building on the RICHDATA framework, this report describes how AI can supercharge current techniques to increase the speed, scale, and personalization of disinformation campaigns.

Part 1 of CSET's "AI and the Future of Disinformation Campaigns" examines how artificial intelligence and machine learning can influence disinformation campaigns.

CSET's report "AI and the Future of Disinformation Campaigns" unpacks how AI and machine learning technologies can shape disinformation campaigns.

CSET researchers argue that it will be hard for governments to harness the needed computational power to deploy an algorithm like GPT-3 against automated disinformation campaigns.

Findings from CSET's report "AI and the Future of Disinformation Campaigns, Part 1: The RICHDATA Framework" offers insight into the use of AI and machine learning to amplify disinformation campaigns.

Artificial intelligence offers enormous promise to advance progress, and powerful capabilities to disrupt it. This policy brief is the first installment of a series that examines how advances in AI could be exploited to enhance operations that automate disinformation. Introducing the RICHDATA framework—a disinformation kill chain—this report describes the stages and techniques used by human operators to build disinformation campaigns.

CSET research staff discussed the potential for OpenAI's GPT-3 and other content generation systems to be used as tools for turbocharging disinformation.
