The Palgrave Handbook of Malicious Use of AI and Psychological Security

This handbook focuses on new threats to psychological security that are  posed by the malicious use of AI and how it can be used to counteract  such threats. Studies on the malicious use of AI through deepfakes,  agenda setting, sentiment analysis and affective computing and so forth,  provide a visual representation of the various forms and methods of  malicious influence on the human psyche, and through this on the  political, economic, cultural processes, the activities of state and  non-state institutions. Separate chapters examine the malicious use of  AI in geopolitical confrontation, political campaigns, strategic  deception, damage to corporate reputation, and activities of extremist  and terrorist organizations. This is a unique volume that brings  together a multidisciplinary range of established scholars and upcoming  new researchers from 11 countries. This handbook is an invaluable  resource for students, researchers, and professionals interested in this  new and developing field of social practice and knowledge.
