The Role of Artificial Intelligence in Cognitive Warfare

This research is published in the double issue 77 - 78 From Dialogue of Thought, published by the Iraqi Institute for Dialogue, by Dr. Bassem Ali Khrisan.

Dr. Bassem Ali explores in depth the concept of cognitive warfare as the newest strategy of conflict in the 21st century, emphasizing the shift of the battlefield to the human mind.

He explains that knowledge warfare goes beyond traditional information warfare, as it aims to influence perception and shape the way people think and behave, not just what they think.

In this context, artificial intelligence (AI) plays a pivotal role as a sophisticated tool that exploits big data analytics and social engineering to spread propaganda and disinformation, undermine trust in organizations, and sow discord to achieve strategic goals.

It also highlights how global militaries, such as the Chinese and US militaries, are responding to this threat by incorporating AI technology into their training programs and immunizing against cognitive manipulation.
