AI fuels deepfakes and disinformation in modern warfare, impacting global opinion and conflict zones.

Experts warn that such misinformation can have life-or-death consequences for civilians in conflict zones, influencing decisions about shelter and aid distribution. The proliferation of AI-driven misinformation also exacerbates existing global inequities, particularly in the Global South, where weaker media ecosystems are more vulnerable to external narrative control and the manipulation of truth.
