CSET Georgetown Jason Ly
Opinion — commentary, not a factual news event.
CSET co-authors an op-ed arguing that foreign influence operations are increasingly combining propaganda methods, social media, covert networks, influencers, and artificial intelligence to shape public opinion across platforms. The op-ed warns that AI is accelerating the spread and expanding the reach of global propaganda. This reframes the policy challenge as needing Washington to recognize and respond to these AI-enabled, integrated operations.
Why it matters
CSET’s Josh A. Goldstein co-authored an op-ed with Renée DiResta in Foreign Affairs. The article examines how foreign influence operations are evolving as governments combine traditional propaganda, social media, covert networks, influencers, and artificial intelligence to shape public opinion across multiple platforms. The post The Triumph of Tech-Fueled Propaganda appeared first on Center for Security and Emerging Technology.
