Combating self-disinformation – developing the global network of knowledge cells

Session

Political Sciences and Security

Description

.A leading researcher at MIT has described disinformation as one of the greatest threats to humanity. The international community and, as far as we are concerned, the European Union and NATO member states, would do anything to suppress disinformation. The results, as many believe, are questionable. The biggest problem is that the categorization as disinformation is mostly "interest-based". In our opinion, there are also gaps in the research on the mechanism of disinformation. According to our research, the situation is further complicated by the emergence of the phenomenon of self-disinformation. Its “victims” are political actors who believe their own disinformation, which is directed against parties with opposing interests. Self-disinformation goes hand in hand with the rapid spread of emotional politics and the behavior of politicians as influencers. We approach this situation from three angles. The first is to re-clarify the content and context of such "forgotten basic concepts" as signal, data, information, meaning-signalsymbol, system, coordinates of existence, etc.). Here we must admit that our "method" is the transformative research approach that helps to bring order to the swirling theories on a philosophical and logical level. The second point is the role of disinformation in the development of belief systems. The third point is the "liberation" and totalization of disinformation. In the era of the globalization of AI technology, we need to examine the potential role of AI in both the creation and suppression of self-disinformation. Based on the above analyzes, we come to a surprising conclusion: the political elites, unable to reform themselves and wandering in the purple fog of self-disinformation, will be led back to the right path by the masses armed with a global network of knowledge cells.
