The Information Battlefield: Truth, Trust and Conflict in the Age of AI
About the event
The front lines of twenty-first century conflict are increasingly found not only on battlefields, but in our phones, feeds and algorithms. The struggle to shape what people know, believe and trust has become a defining feature of contemporary conflict. While information has long been used as a strategic weapon, social media and artificial intelligence are transforming its scale, speed and reach. Bringing together leading experts in technology, security, journalism and public life, this event explores how AI, social media and digital networks are reshaping the information battlefield. As the boundaries between war and peace continue to blur, what are the implications for military decision-making, public trust and global stability? And how can democratic societies prepare for a future in which influence, manipulation and information itself are increasingly used as instruments of conflict? This event is part of IWM Institute's Future of War series, which explores cutting-edge current topics related to the fields of war and conflict, and examines how they link to the history. Tickets for this event are strictly limited, book early to avoid disappointment. Adults £25
