Tech-Fueled Propaganda and America's Influence-Operations Gap

Original: "The Triumph of Tech-Fueled Propaganda. America Isn’t Ready for the Next Wave of Foreign Influence Operations." # USpol

Foreign Affairs has published a piece arguing that technology-boosted propaganda has triumphed and that the United States is unprepared for the next wave of foreign influence operations. The article warns that AI tools and social platforms make disinformation cheaper, faster and harder to detect, and it questions whether American institutions and voters can recognise manipulated content during election periods.

Why now: Concern about foreign disinformation is high heading into US elections, making warnings about tech-enabled propaganda resonate widely.
