As warfare evolves with AI, military deception must adapt to mislead not just human commanders but also the AI that assists them. US Army officers Mark Askew and Antonio Salinas highlight that traditional deception methods won't suffice. Instead, strategies should focus on manipulating the information interpreted by enemy AI systems, turning these technologies into vulnerabilities. Centralized command structures, like those of Russia and China, might be especially susceptible to such tactics, where misinformation can undermine trust in AI and lead to strategic advantages.
Commanders can no longer rely on traditional methods of deception like hiding troop movements or equipment. Instead, shaping perceptions in sensor-rich environments requires a shift in thinking.
Today, nations will have to focus on feeding adversaries accurate if misleading data that can manipulate their interpretation of information and misdirect their activity.
