Impact of Artificial Intelligence on Global Disinformation and Security

2023 saw a sharp rise in the use of artificial intelligence (AI) for disinformation across the world, posing new challenges for fact-checkers. China's Ministry of State Security (MSS) has employed AI and facial recognition technology to monitor foreign diplomats, military personnel, and intelligence agents in Beijing's embassy area. The evolving threat landscape emphasizes the urgent need for a strategic shift in data security to a data-centric approach. The development of AI technology brings not only progress but also fundamentally changes the landscape of global security threats, introducing new types of threats that are more complex and difficult to detect. The delicate balance between leveraging AI and safeguarding against cyber threats has become crucial in today's digital age.
