When Humans Become Machines and Machines Become Human
Date:
Online talk and discussion with COM4AI on how AI is reshaping propaganda, manipulation, and the interpretation of online behaviour.
Topic
Daniel Thilo Schroeder discussed two converging developments: cyborg propaganda, in which real users spread AI-generated narratives, and malicious AI swarms, in which coordinated agents adapt to social settings and appear increasingly human.
The conversation explored how these developments make it harder to distinguish genuine public opinion from engineered consensus, and what this means for trust, democratic discourse, and responses to emerging security threats.
