NATO’s Chief Scientist has released a new report examining the rise of cognitive warfare and how adversaries target perception, behavior, and decision-making as part of modern conflict.
The report focuses on how emerging technologies, information operations, and psychological influence are reshaping the character of warfare. It outlines how these tools are used to influence how individuals and societies think and act, often without traditional military force.
The analysis also explores how science and technology can help counter cognitive warfare, highlighting the need to better understand and respond to threats that operate in the cognitive domain.
