DARPA Social Network Experiments, AI Bot Campaigns
Historical claims suggest DARPA experimented with social networks as early as the CompuServe era to study human manipulation. Modern researchers warn that networks of "AI agents" can now coordinate disinformation campaigns that are much harder to detect than traditional bots. These agents can simulate real conversations and plan strategies together to shift public opinion during elections.
