Description
There is nothing new about the effort to gain a strategic advantage over one’s enemy in a conflict setting. As other authors in this volume explain, case law and societal responses for dealing with such disinformation are well-developed. This chapter, however grapples with whether the advent of disinformation in the context of generative artificial intelligence (AI) merits a new set of responses. By working through a futuristic but plausible scenario of a Russian disinformation campaign against Ukraine, this chapter builds the argument that extant responses to disinformation not only risk providing he wrong answers to AI-generated disinformation, but actually risk asking the wrong set of questions. The chapter concludes with a set of reflections on the regulation of generative AI itself.
