AI disinformation looks different depending on where you are standing and your version of this conflict is almost certainly not the same as anyone else's. The feed was personalised to keep you engaged. The algorithm does
not care whether what it shows you is complete. It cares that you come back. That was true before the war started. It is more consequential now.

What does it feel like to realise the infrastructure you rely on daily runs through the same region where the conflict is happening? A drone hits a facility. A cloud service goes down. Something you depend on stops working
and the chain back to the cause is shorter than you assumed. This is not background noise. It is already inside the systems you use every morning.

The first global conflict with synthetic media fully active is not a future scenario. Disinformation is moving faster through first world feeds than verified information can travel from the actual source. The gap between what
you are seeing and what is true is being managed by an algorithm that was never designed to close it.

Topics: AI disinformation war, filter bubble, global connectivity, synthetic media conflict, tech disruption
