Information Warfare: How Emerging Technologies Threaten Europe and Taiwan
Niklas Swanström and Yi-Chieh Chen
The intersection of emerging technologies and disinformation has created unprecedented challenges for democratic societies, particularly in geopolitically sensitive regions like Taiwan and Europe. As artificial intelligence (AI), deepfake technology, computer vision algorithms, and social media algorithms become increasingly sophisticated, the landscape of information warfare has transformed dramatically in recent years. This transformation represents not merely an evolution of existing propaganda techniques, but there has been a fundamental shift in how false information is created, disseminated, and consumed internationally. This publication aims to disseminate the ongoing challenges and the reactions from Taiwan and Europe, but more importantly, look at the emerging security challenges and how the actions in the future should look.
