The landscape of warfare has evolved significantly over the past century. As conflicts shift from armies and soldiers on physical battlefields to the digital realm focused on the civilian populace within a target nation, AI-driven psychological programming has emerged as a potent weapon with the potential to inflict lasting damage on a nation, akin to the devastating effects of a nuclear bomb. In the context of fifth-generation warfare, where the focus lies on manipulating public opinion, exploiting societal vulnerabilities, causing internal strife in a target nation, shaping public perception, and influencing the belief systems of children and the perceptions of individuals within institutions and agencies, psychological programming becomes a critical component in this new era of digital-based psychological warfare. As artificial intelligence continues to revolutionize industries and transform the way we communicate, work and live, the national security threats and ethical concerns associated with its misuse grow as well. Foreign-born AI-driven psychological programming refers to the use of AI technologies by our foreign adversaries, such as the Chinese Communist Party, to manipulate, influence or control the thoughts, emotions and behaviors of individuals or groups of Americans. While this can sound like science fiction, it’s not and now we sit at a precipice attempting to get past our individual cognitive dissonance and face the threat. We are short on time because this bomb has already detonated, and bigger threats are getting closer. This type of programming is being employed to undermine our way of life, manipulate public opinion, incite fear or hatred of each other, and even control political outcomes. It’s the silent and unseen tool that amplifies polarization and division within our society.
