AI is enhancing intelligence collection and mission effectiveness—as well as enabling faster, more complex special operations. However, AI-powered deepfakes, disinformation, and influence campaigns are creating significant challenges for intelligence validation, decision-making, and national security.

Learning Outcomes 

  • Explain how artificial intelligence enhances intelligence gathering, analysis, and operational effectiveness, including its role in enabling faster decision-making and complex military operations.
  • Assess the risks posed by AI-enabled deception, including deepfakes, disinformation, synthetic identities, and foreign influence campaigns, and their impact on trust in information and intelligence.
  • Evaluate the challenges of maintaining information integrity in an AI-driven security environment, including the need for data protection, intelligence validation, and resilience against adversarial AI attacks.
