AI: Diffusion, Defusion, and Conflict Resolution 1 source This piece from the AI World Journal, authored by Sydney Armani, explores the dual nature of AI, focusing on its capacity for both diffusion (spreading information rapidly) and defusion (resolving conflict). It explains how AI is already used in areas like geopolitical tensions, cybersecurity, and mediation to de-escalate situations. The article also highlights the risks associated with AI's powerful diffusion capabilities, such as amplifying polarization and misinformation.
