the role of knowledge (mis) representation in conflict

This is not a political thread, but I d like to leverage the critical topic
of the war in Ukraine to once again reiterate the importance of adequate KR
in getting facts straight

One of the reasons motivating this CG when I started it
it was that after realizing that information is routinely fabricated, ie
that knowledge is routinely mis-represented to influence and manipulate
public opinion and distort facts, the only thing I could do is contribute s
perspective gtom intelligent systems design.

Since we have excellent KR methods in AI, designed to model and uphold
truth using solid logic, and that AI technology is being used to mediate
most of the information the public receives it makes sense to chime in.

  in addition to be advancing the state of the art in KR itself with novel
constructs and artefacts,r
we should leverage the wealth of AI KR resources to
expose misinformation and miserpresentation

I am compiling a set of resources showing how the mainstream media is
deliberately misrepresenting (faking) the facts of Ukraine .

I think it is important that the AI KR community appreciates once more how
misrepresentation reinforces false narratives and conflict, and that a
correct approach to modelling is imperative

Here for example, French war correspondent says that Ukrainian government
has been committing atrocities against Ukranian civil population for over 8
years, causing thousand of casualties, but that her evidence is being
ignored

Many more reports showing how mainstream media is misrepresenting knowledge
about Ukraine would benefit from a technical analysis from a KR perspective
