When Russia invaded Ukraine in February 2022, the images of tanks and troops amassing and then crossing the border could make it seem like little has changed in the world of warfare. However, as the fighting in Ukraine progressed it also became clear how conflicts today are developing in new and very different ways. Many of the images we have seen were captured by satellites in space or on mobile phones, and the sharing of these on social media has helped to shape public attitudes and been used to circumvent or undermine state-sponsored messaging. We have also seen hackers declare cyberwar on Russia. In the latest episode of the WORLD:we got this podcast series Dr Tim Stevens and Dr Kenneth Payne, who are both based in the School of Security Studies in our Faculty of Social Science & Public Policy, explore how cyber operations, social media and artificial intelligence are changing the face of war.
