Summary/Abstract: In the geopolitical context of the 21st century, “the battle for hearts and minds” is ever more present. The advance of new technologies has changed the conventional battle space dramatically. Nowadays, the new battlespace is represented by the weaponized narrative. The weaponized narrative is increasingly affecting our lives in a smaller or greater way by using different tools, the most dangerous one being the use of artificial intelligence (AI). The aim of this article is to explain how the new battlespace determines our existence by exploring the impact of AI on human lives.
