[Air-L] NEW ARTICLE on AI, Surveillance, Gamified War and the Discord Leaker

[Dr. Emma Briant]

Dear Friends and Colleagues,

I am just writing to share my latest article with you, now out on SpyTalk 'The
Air Force Loves War Gamers Like Teixeira: The Discord leaks reveal a
digital culture problem that more AI surveillance can’t solve
<https://www.spytalk.co/p/the-air-force-loves-war-gamers-like>.’

It looks at the problems with AI insider threat firms like Palantir, as a
response to leakers and why the military is recruiting people just like
Teixeira… and encouraging them all to bond on Discord where extremists hang
out.

The piece gives a deep dive on the US military's effort to create an
attractive war game culture to pull in young future cyber warriors.

I also gave this talk on Contemporary Propaganda and Digital Mercenaries
<https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fmB5wtdD9i8> this week for Kyiv School of
Economics. There is an intro in Ukrainian before the lecture in English.

And I also was interviewed about Russian influence operations, new
technologies and Western responses to the Silicon Curtain podcast
<https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z8O__A37KGo> recently…

I hope you find the article an interesting and illuminating read and have a
chance to view the talks! You can share the article here on Twitter
