AI, War, and Digital Conflict Spaces
How Social Media Amplifies Crises and Violence

Digital platforms have become central arenas of international conflict. In contemporary wars and geopolitical crises, social media function not only as channels of communication but also as strategic tools—for mobilization, propaganda, and escalation.
Artificial intelligence is fundamentally transforming these dynamics. Algorithmic systems shape visibility, amplify specific narratives, and enable new forms of digital influence.
In the second Short Talk of the series Democracy Between Freedom and the Algorithm, Anita Gohdes and Katja Weber discuss how AI and platform logics are shaping modern conflicts. What role do digital infrastructures play in war? How do they transform processes of violence? And how can democratic societies ensure security without placing further pressure on civil liberties?
A conversation about war, technology, and the growing vulnerability of democratic orders
Please note that the event will be held in German.
