Carl Miller: New Research on AI’s role in Information Warfare

As AI becomes one of the ways we understand the world, a new question is emerging: who is shaping what it tells us?.

In his latest paper for Demos, GEO for Geopolitics, Carl Miller examines a new frontier in information warfare — how the online information retrieved by AI models can be deliberately manipulated to influence the answers they give.

Drawing on new research into Russian information operations, the paper looks at how techniques developed to gain visibility with AI can also be used by hostile states to manufacture authority and spread misleading narratives.

It’s a timely extension of Carl’s long-standing work on technology, power and information warfare, and brings an important new dimension to the conversations he has with audiences about AI: not simply what these systems can do, but how much we can trust the information they put in front of us.
