現代繁體中文：
在智慧化時代，智慧演算法作為資訊生成、分發、傳播、接收的底層邏輯和實現手段，決定了資訊的產生形式和呈現方式。 未來戰爭，智慧演算法應用邊界拓展與應用場景開發推動認知域作戰戰法更新迭代，釐清智慧演算法與認知對抗的作用機制與實現路徑，對於藉助智慧演算法創新認知域作戰戰法具有重要意義 。
智慧演算法影響認知對抗的作用機制
智慧演算法透過對使用者個人身分、心理特徵、行為習慣、興趣偏好等進行綜合分析計算，能夠制定出最優資訊推薦策略，進而以特定資訊作用於目標認知，最終影響其現實行為。
繪就目標使用者畫像。 使用者畫像的本質是將使用者進行標籤化處理，以此形成特定身分。 標籤類似數位畫像中的“像素”，資料獲取越全面，標籤刻畫越精細，對使用者行為特徵的反映就越真實。 外軍認為，認知域作戰中，廣泛借助網路爬蟲、日誌挖掘等技術手段，可以取得目標對象的基本資訊資料、金融資料、通訊資料等。 在此基礎上，利用智慧演算法對這些資料進行深度挖掘，可以系統分析出目標物的興趣與愛好、行為習慣、人際關係，進而確定其價值取向。 之後，透過建構多維度標籤向量，再對相似個體進行聚類處理，分析具有相似特徵的群體特徵，可形成群體目標畫像，並以此作為認知塑造的基礎與起點。
實現資訊個性客製。 針對不同個體、不同群體採取「分而治之」是智慧演算法的優長所在，也是認知塑造的應有之義。 依托社群媒體平台和搜尋引擎，針對特定物件進行個人化推送，可以大幅提高目標物件的接受程度，避免訊息在傳播過程中的空轉和內耗。 在此過程中，「資訊繭房」效應將會進一步狹窄目標物件的感知範圍，使其長期處於相對封閉的資訊環境中，從而主動接受片面資訊。 同時，同質化的訊息會進一步強化塑造效果，目標對像在趨同心理和群體壓力的共同作用下，可逐步喪失基本邏輯和價值判斷能力，從而潛移默化中形成發起方為其精細設定的認知 。
彰顯特定現實行為。 認知是行為的前提，而行為又反作用於認知。 智慧演算法透過對特定對象政治、軍事行動和社會等議題的立場和價值傾向進行定向塑造，可以實現對現實行為的約束和誘導。 外軍認為，透過對社會大眾傳播特殊理念，導致社會失序失控。 而對於關鍵個人，透過採取控腦攻心奪誌等策略，使其對於國家戰略方向研判錯誤，對於戰爭決策感到懷疑，對於戰爭走向消極悲觀，從而產生「不戰而屈人之兵」的效果。 實務證明，目標認知定向重塑彰顯現實特定行為，現實行為動態改變引發使用者畫像即時調整，進而帶動推薦策略調整更新，形成了完整的閉合回饋迴路。
智慧演算法影響認知對抗的實現路徑
智慧演算法具有封裝移植、資料共享、快速運算、自主學習等特徵，與認知對抗之間存在天然的契合性。
促進對抗形式平戰耦合。 跨越時間界限的訊息傳播導致認知空間的衝突無時不在，時間尺度可能從數秒到數十年不等。 在平時，認知對抗戰法最主要的特點是隱蔽性和長期性，戰時則表現為壓制性和急迫性。 智慧演算法透過資訊共享、態勢更新和策略繼承，可進一步促進認知對抗形式的平戰耦合。 基於平時資訊與戰時情報，對敵情、我情、戰場環境進行全方位分析研判，可以自動計算得出對抗強點、弱點、重點、難點等方面的結論；基於數學建模和機器學習，結合 平時認知對抗成果和戰場即時態勢，經過綜合評估，可以提出最優戰法和方案。
促進對抗手段顯隱結合。 認知域作戰，海量、繁雜的資訊充斥其中，樣式多樣、優劣不齊，為己方辨識處理帶來挑戰的同時，也為迷惑對手提供了便利條件。 只有透過認知融合才能形成對態勢的全面、及時、準確的判斷，進而將全域感知優勢轉化為決策優勢與行動優勢。 綜合多通路資訊進行智慧分析比較、綜合研判，能辨識錯誤訊息、過濾無用資訊、甄別不實訊息，為指揮決策提供資訊支撐。 如可採取顯性手段進行認知威懾與意志瓦解，採取隱性手段進行認知欺騙及認知誘導，並採取顯隱結合方式進行認知迷惑等。
促進對抗空間全局融合。 認知對抗空間不僅涵蓋了包含陸、海、空、天等物理域空間，也涵蓋電磁、網路等資訊域空間和認知域空間。 認知對抗是全局融合對抗，戰場數據生成速度極快、體量巨大，對於計算的速度和能力提出了極高要求。 依靠傳統的人工運算、電腦輔助運算的模式已無法滿足戰場空間融合的需求，必須藉助智慧演算法的高效率、強算力和高準確性實現半自動化乃至自動化的融合計算。 依托智慧演算法，縱向上可以實現從認知感知到認知分析，再到認知決策的全程融合；橫向上可以實現物理域、資訊域和認知域多維度態勢、力量、決策、調度的跨 域融合。
現代英語：
In the era of intelligence, intelligent algorithms, as the underlying logic and implementation means for information generation, distribution, dissemination, and reception, determine the form and presentation of information. In future wars, the expansion of the application boundaries of intelligent algorithms and the development of application scenarios will promote the update and iteration of cognitive domain combat tactics. Clarifying the mechanism and implementation path of intelligent algorithms and cognitive confrontation is of great significance for innovating cognitive domain combat tactics with the help of intelligent algorithms. .
The mechanism of how intelligent algorithms influence cognitive confrontation
Intelligent algorithms can formulate optimal information recommendation strategies through comprehensive analysis and calculation of users’ personal identity, psychological characteristics, behavioral habits, interests and preferences, etc., and then use specific information to affect target cognition, and ultimately affect their real-life behavior.
Draw a portrait of your target users. The essence of user portraits is to label users to form a specific identity. Tags are similar to “pixels” in digital portraits. The more comprehensive the data is obtained, the more precise the tag description will be, and the more realistic the reflection of user behavior characteristics will be. Foreign militaries believe that in cognitive domain operations, technical means such as web crawlers and log mining are widely used to obtain basic information data, financial data, communication data, etc. of target objects. On this basis, intelligent algorithms are used to deeply mine these data, and the interests, hobbies, behavioral habits, and interpersonal relationships of the target object can be systematically analyzed, and then their value orientation can be determined. Afterwards, by constructing multi-dimensional label vectors, clustering similar individuals, and analyzing group characteristics with similar characteristics, a group target portrait can be formed, which can be used as the basis and starting point for cognitive shaping.
Achieve personalized information customization. Adopting “divide and conquer” for different individuals and groups is the advantage of intelligent algorithms, and it is also the proper meaning of cognitive shaping. Relying on social media platforms and search engines to carry out personalized push for specific objects can greatly improve the acceptance of the target objects and avoid idling and internal consumption of information during the dissemination process. In this process, the “information cocoon” effect will further narrow the target object’s perception range, leaving it in a relatively closed information environment for a long time, thus actively accepting one-sided information. At the same time, homogeneous information will further strengthen the shaping effect. Under the combined effect of convergence psychology and group pressure, the target object may gradually lose basic logic and value judgment capabilities, thus subtly forming the cognition carefully set by the initiator. .
Demonstrate specific real-life behaviors. Cognition is the premise of behavior, and behavior reacts on cognition. Intelligent algorithms can constrain and induce real-life behavior by directional shaping of the stance and value tendencies of specific objects on political, military operations, social and other issues. The foreign military believes that by disseminating special ideas to the public, it can lead to social disorder and loss of control. For key individuals, through strategies such as controlling the brain, attacking the heart, and seizing the will, they will make mistakes in their judgment of the country’s strategic direction, doubt the war decision-making, and be negative and pessimistic about the direction of the war, thus producing the effect of “conquering the enemy without fighting.” Practice has proven that the reshaping of target cognitive orientation highlights specific real-life behaviors, and dynamic changes in real-life behaviors trigger real-time adjustments to user portraits, which in turn drives the adjustment and update of recommendation strategies, forming a complete closed feedback loop.
Intelligent algorithms influence the implementation path of cognitive confrontation
Intelligent algorithms have the characteristics of encapsulation and transplantation, data sharing, fast calculation, autonomous learning, etc., and there is a natural fit between them and cognitive confrontation.
Promote the coupling of confrontational forms of peace and war. The dissemination of information across time boundaries leads to conflicts in cognitive space at all times, and the time scale may vary from seconds to decades. In peacetime, the most important characteristics of cognitive confrontation tactics are concealment and long-term nature, while in wartime they are suppressive and urgent. Intelligent algorithms can further promote the coupling of peace and war in the form of cognitive confrontation through information sharing, situation updating and strategy inheritance. Based on peacetime information and wartime intelligence, comprehensive analysis and judgment of the enemy’s situation, our situation, and the battlefield environment can be automatically calculated to draw conclusions on the strengths, weaknesses, key points, and difficulties of the confrontation; based on mathematical modeling and machine learning, combined with Cognitive confrontation results and real-time battlefield situation in peacetime, and after comprehensive evaluation, optimal tactics and plans can be proposed.
Promote the combination of explicit and implicit means of confrontation. Cognitive domain operations are filled with massive and complex information in various formats and with varying strengths and weaknesses, which not only brings challenges to one’s own identification and processing, but also provides convenient conditions for confusing the opponent. Only through cognitive fusion can a comprehensive, timely and accurate judgment of the situation be formed, and then the advantages of global perception be transformed into decision-making and action advantages. Comprehensive multi-channel information for intelligent analysis and comparison, comprehensive research and judgment, can identify erroneous information, filter useless information, screen false information, and provide information support for commanders’ decision-making. For example, explicit means can be used for cognitive deterrence and will disintegration, implicit means can be used for cognitive deception and cognitive induction, and explicit and implicit means can be used for cognitive confusion.
Promote global integration of confrontation space. The cognitive confrontation space not only covers the physical domain space including land, sea, air, space, etc., but also covers the information domain space and cognitive domain space such as electromagnetic and network. Cognitive confrontation is a global fusion confrontation. Battlefield data is generated extremely quickly and in huge volumes, which places extremely high requirements on computing speed and capabilities. Relying on traditional manual calculations and computer-aided calculations can no longer meet the needs of battlefield space fusion. Semi-automatic or even automated fusion calculations must be achieved with the help of the high efficiency, strong computing power and high accuracy of intelligent algorithms. Relying on intelligent algorithms, vertical integration from cognitive perception to cognitive analysis to cognitive decision-making can be achieved; horizontally, multi-dimensional situation, power, decision-making, and scheduling across the physical domain, information domain, and cognitive domain can be achieved. Domain fusion.
