Information Operation

Information operations encompass the strategic use of information to influence perceptions, behaviors, and decisions, often with malicious intent. Current research focuses on detecting and analyzing these operations, employing techniques like large language models to identify goals, tactics, and narratives within online campaigns, as well as developing methods for protecting privacy within information management systems. This field is crucial for understanding and mitigating the impact of disinformation and manipulation, with implications for election integrity, public health, and national security.
