AI changes how false information is shared. This is a big problem for democracy. It allows information to be spread quickly and on a large scale. Also, messages can be personalized for different people.
Attribution is not clear-cut anymore. Analysts often say it’s likely a group did it instead of being certain. They look for patterns rather than proof. This affects how we understand and track information campaigns.
Analysts measure success by looking at behavior, not just opinions. They check changes in voting patterns or public actions to see if misinformation works.
