Abstract

Artificial intelligence (AI) is a relatively new and rapidly developing area of technology that has already gained significant influence on various spheres of human life, including national security, in a short time of its existence. In modern armed conflicts, AI is very active, in particular in the context of information and psychological operations (IPO). The use of AI in IPSO can bring about radical changes in their nature and methods. On the one hand, automated systems based on AI can significantly increase the efficiency and scale of information and psychological operations, allowing for faster and more accurate influence on the psychological state of the enemy. This can be especially useful in the virtual space, where the speed of reaction and dissemination of information is critical. On the other hand, the use of AI in IPSO also carries risks of conflict escalation. Artificial intelligence algorithms can make information and psychological operations more insidious, less predictable and aggressive, which can lead to unforeseen consequences and deterioration of the international situation. In this context, it is important to conduct a detailed analysis of the role of AI in information and psychological operations in modern armed conflicts. It should be noted that the use of AI in IPSO requires a thorough ethical justification, strict regulation and control to ensure the stability and security of the international community. In this article, we plan to consider in detail the mechanisms of AI use in IPSO, as well as analyze the potential consequences of its application, in particular in the context of security and stability at the international level.

Keywords: Artificial intelligence, information and psychological operations, bots, social networks, Deepfake.
