Isifinyezo sokuqonda

Izindaba ezingamanga manje sezithatha inguquko embi njengoba abasakazi benkulumo-ze nabagebengu bangaphandle bengena kumawebhusayithi ezindaba anedumela elihle, baguqule okuqukethwe ukuze basakaze izindaba ezidukisayo. Lawa maqhinga awagcini nje ngokusongela ukwethembeka kwemithombo yezindaba evamile kodwa futhi asebenzisa amandla okulandisa okungamanga ukuze abhebhezele inkulumo-ze eku-inthanethi kanye nezimpi zolwazi. Ububanzi bale mikhankaso ye-disinformation bunwebeka ekudaleni izintatheli ezikhiqizwe yi-AI kanye nokukhohlisa izinkundla zokuxhumana, kugqugquzelwa ukusabela okuphakeme ekuvikelekeni kwe-inthanethi nokuqinisekiswa kokuqukethwe.

I-disinformation kanye nengqikithi yabaduni

Abasakazi benkulumo-ze bakwamanye amazwe sebeqalile ukusebenzisa izigebengu ukuze benze uhlobo oluhlukile lokusabalala kwezindaba ezingamanga: ukungena ngesinyenyela kumawebhusayithi ezindaba, ukuphazamisa idatha, nokushicilela izindaba ezidukisayo eziku-inthanethi ezixhaphaza isithunzi esithenjwayo salezi zinkampani zezindaba. Le mikhankaso yamanoveli engaziwa inamandla okuqeda kancane kancane umbono womphakathi wezindaba ezijwayelekile nezinhlangano zezindaba. Izizwe kanye nezigebengu ze-inthanethi zigebenga izindlela ezahlukahlukene ukuze zitshale izindaba ezingamanga njengeqhinga lenkulumo-ze eku-inthanethi.

Isibonelo, ngo-2021, kwaba nemibiko yobuhlakani bezempi yaseRussia, i-GRU, yenza imikhankaso yokugebenga kumasayithi e-disinformation afana ne-InfoRos ne-OneWorld.press. Ngokusho kwezikhulu eziphezulu zezobunhloli zaseMelika, "uphiko lwezempi yengqondo" lwe-GRU, olwaziwa nge-Unit 54777, lwalungemuva ngqo komkhankaso wokubulala izidumbu owawuhlanganisa nemibiko engamanga yokuthi igciwane le-COVID-19 lenziwa e-US. Ochwepheshe bezempi besaba ukuthi izindaba eziqanjiwe ezingathi izindaba zangempela zizovuthwa zibe izikhali zempi yolwazi, eziklanyelwe ukugcizelela kabusha intukuthelo, izinkathazo nokwesaba kwabantu.

Ngo-2020, inkampani ye-cybersecurity i-FireEye yabika ukuthi i-Ghostwriter, iqembu eligxile ekuhlakanipheni elizinze e-Russia, belidala futhi lisabalalisa okuqukethwe okungelona iqiniso kusukela ngoMashi 2017. Iqembu ligxile ekulimazeni umfelandawonye wezempi i-NATO (North Atlantic Treaty Organization) kanye namasosha ase-US ePoland. kanye nezifunda zaseBaltic. Iqembu lishicilele izinto ezonakalisiwe ezinkundleni zokuxhumana, okuhlanganisa namawebhusayithi ezindaba ezingamanga. Ngaphezu kwalokho, i-FireEye ibone ukuthi i-Ghostwriter igebenga izinhlelo zokuphatha okuqukethwe ukuze ithumele ezabo izindaba. Bese besakaza lokhu kulandisa okungamanga ngama-imeyili ayinkohliso, okuthunyelwe ezinkundleni zokuxhumana, nama-op-eds akhiqizwe ngabasebenzisi kwamanye amasayithi. Ulwazi oludukisayo luhlanganisa:

• Ulaka lwamasosha ase-US,
• Amasosha e-NATO asabalalisa i-coronavirus, futhi
• I-NATO ilungiselela ukuhlasela kweBelarus ngokugcwele.

Umthelela ophazamisayo

Enye yezinkundla zempi yakamuva kakhulu yemikhankaso yokubulala ama-hacker ukuhlasela kweRussia ngoFebhuwari 2022 e-Ukraine. I-Pro-Kremlin Komsomolskaya Pravda, i-tabloid yolimi lwesiRashiya ezinze e-Ukraine, ithe abagebengu baphazamisa futhi bashicilela isihloko endaweni yephephandaba ethi amasosha aseRussia acishe abe ngu-10,000 ashonile e-Ukraine. I-Komsomolskaya Pravda imemezele ukuthi isikhombimsebenzisi somqondisi sigqekeziwe, futhi izibalo zasetshenziswa. Nakuba kungaqinisekiswanga, ukuqagela okuvela ezikhulu zase-US nase-Ukraine zithi izinombolo “ezigetshengiwe” kungenzeka zinembile. Khonamanjalo, selokhu ahlasela okokuqala e-Ukraine, uhulumeni waseRussia uphoqe izinhlangano ezizimele zemithombo yezindaba ukuthi zivale futhi ziphasise umthetho omusha ojezisa izintatheli ezimelana nenkulumo-ze yawo. 

Khonamanjalo, izinkundla zokuxhumana i-Facebook, YouTube, kanye ne-Twitter zimemezele ukuthi zisuse izikhala eziqondise imikhankaso yokubulala ama-disinformation ngokumelene ne-Ukraine. I-Meta iveze ukuthi le mikhankaso emibili ye-Facebook mincane futhi isesigabeni sayo sokuqala. Umkhankaso wokuqala wawuhlanganisa inethiwekhi yama-akhawunti, amakhasi, namaqembu acishe abe ngu-40 eRussia nase-Ukraine.

Bakha abantu mbumbulu abahlanganisa nezithombe zephrofayili ezakhiwe ngekhompiyutha ukuze zibonakale sengathi izintatheli zezindaba ezizimele ezinezinsolo zokuthi i-Ukraine iyizwe elihlulekile. Ngaleso sikhathi, ama-akhawunti angaphezu kweshumi nambili axhunywe kulo mkhankaso avinjelwe yi-Twitter. Ngokusho komkhulumeli wale nkampani, ama-akhawunti nezixhumanisi zisuka eRussia futhi zenzelwe ukuthonya inkulumompikiswano yomphakathi mayelana nesimo esiqhubekayo sase-Ukraine ngezindaba zezindaba.

Imithelela ye-disinformation kanye nabaduni

Imithelela ebanzi ye-disinformation kanye nabaduni bangafaka: 

• Ukwanda kwabantu bentatheli abakhiqizwe yi-AI abazenza sengathi bamele imithombo yezindaba esemthethweni, okuholela ekukhukhuleni kolwazi olubulala amagciwane ku-inthanethi.
• Ama-op-eds akhiqizwe yi-AI kanye namazwana akhohlisa imibono yabantu ngezinqubomgomo zomphakathi noma ukhetho lukazwelonke.
• Izinkundla zokuxhumana ezitshala imali kuma-algorithms akhomba futhi asuse izindaba ezingamanga nama-akhawunti ezintatheli mbumbulu.
• Izinkampani zezindaba ezitshala imali ku-cybersecurity kanye nedatha kanye nezinhlelo zokuqinisekisa okuqukethwe ukuvimbela imizamo yokugebenga.
• Izingosi zolwazi lwe-disinformation zikhohliswa ama-hacktivists.
• Ukwanda kwezimpi zolwazi phakathi kwezizwe-zizwe.

Imibuzo okufanele icatshangelwe

• Uqinisekisa kanjani ukuthi imithombo yezindaba zakho iqinisekisiwe futhi isemthethweni?
• Abantu bangazivikela kanjani futhi ezindabeni eziqanjiwe?
