Online influence operations are evolving from isolated fake accounts into persistent cognitive attack infrastructures. In this talk, Dr. Schroeder explores two emerging threat models: 'Cyborg Propaganda', where verified human users are used to disseminate centrally coordinated, AI-generated narratives, and 'Malicious AI Swarms', which deploy coordinated, adaptive artificial agents across platforms. By collapsing the boundary between authentic and engineered collective behavior, these hybrid threats degrade a society's signal integrity, situational awareness, and trust. The presentation will outline why traditional content-based defenses are breaking down and propose a new defense doctrine focused on coordination detection, cryptographic provenance, and agent-based simulation to protect democratic resilience.
