Future Elections and AI-Driven Disinformation

This paper conceptualises the impact of Artificial Intelligence (AI) on disinformation campaigns, contrasting AI-driven operations with traditional human-operated methods. Utilising a Human Intelligence Collector Operations (HUMINT) and Offensive Cyberspace Operations (OCO) framework, the research analyses the advancements in AI technology in terms of speed, efficiency, content generation, and adaptability. The findings reveal that AI-driven operations, particularly those with billions of tokens, significantly outperform human-operated disinformation campaigns in speed and efficiency, demonstrating an ability to process vast datasets and complex scenarios almost instantaneously.
