Information as Weapon
Control the narrative, control the outcome. From Clausewitz's 'fog of war' to AI-generated disinformation, information has always been a battlefield — but the weapons got radically better. This track covers information warfare doctrine, cyber operations, hybrid conflict, digital sovereignty, and the rise of techno-nationalism. You'll understand why governments now treat data centres like military assets and why the fight over AI isn't about convenience — it's about power.
You’re already in an information war. The question is whether you can see the architecture — who controls the cables, the platforms, the chips, and the training data. This track makes the architecture visible.
