JSOC is pursuing technologies for generating convincing online personas to be deployed by Special Operations Forces, aiming to enhance their information-gathering efforts across social media.
The Joint Special Operations Command's wishlist indicates a strategic shift towards using generative AI for creating fake personas, despite warnings about misinformation crises and deepfakes.
These AI-driven personas would allow Special Operations agents to immerse themselves in online forums, gathering insights while operating under the guise of genuine users.
The Pentagon's desire for these technologies reveals a growing reliance on AI to bolster digital surveillance and influence operations, raising ethical and operational concerns.
