Abstract:
Images of war are almost as old as war itself. From cave paintings to photographs of mobile devices on social media, humans always had the urge to capture particularly important events during a war. Images provide visual evidence. For armed forces, they may serve as the output of a sensor (e.g. in aerial reconnaissance) or as an effector on cognition (e.g. in form of photographic propaganda). They can inform, influence, or even manipulate a target audience. The recent advancements in the field of generative Artificial Intelligence (AI) to synthesize photorealistic images give rise to several new challenges for armed forces.
