Nathan Ruser: 在分析印巴冲突时,我发现公开信息的追踪非常困难,因为声明发布的速度和规模都很大。我将冲突分为查谟和克什米尔的炮战以及空军之间的战略空战。通过卫星图像分析,我发现巴基斯坦空军基地遭受了相当大的破坏,而印度空军的防御似乎更成功。然而,巴基斯坦夸大了其造成的破坏,而印度政府的新闻发布会相对谨慎。双方都在一定程度上掩盖真相,但大部分虚假信息并非来自官方,而是来自民族主义评论员,他们试图宣传“我方正在获胜,而对方一片狼藉”的叙事。在信息真空期,民族主义博主通过放大谣言和未经证实的报告来填补空白,甚至捏造报告。最令人震惊的是,我发现有人篡改卫星图像,试图在干净的场景中添加和修饰损害,这是我以前从未见过的。总的来说,我认为新闻编辑室和验证实验室需要意识到篡改卫星图像正在成为一种新兴现象,并采取相应的措施。

ASPI’s geospatial analyst Nathan Ruser reveals what he’s found by studying satellite imagery of the recent India-Pakistan clashes over Kashmir, in a special episode of Stop the World. This includes the use of images for disinformation in ways he hasn’t seen before in his years of poring over satellite pictures.

Alongside the military clashes, the Indian and Pakistani governments, and their respective supporters, have been battling in the information domain, a typical pattern that is becoming ever more competitive with new technology, especially generative artificial intelligence.

Nathan’s globally recognised skills as a geospatial analyst are put to full use in this episode that will be useful to anyone interested in South Asia, disinformation, deepfakes, AI and nuclear stability.
