Abstract

[As the information environment is evolving, so are its manipulative uses. Hence, this chapter will focus on so-called synthetic media, produced by employing techniques such as Deep Learning. This class of media includes, e.g., deepfakes, Extended Reality applications, and (some) virtual influencers. To assess emergent threats, this chapter will first discuss the nature of Information Warfare and its connections with changes in the information ecosystem, before moving to the main relevant types of synthetic media, discussing their potential Information Warfare uses and weighing their pros and cons, subsequently evaluating the likelihood of nefarious use by Russia and other aggressive states.]
