Disinformation, Democracy and the Disintegration of Reality

This event has ended.

With the rapid advancement of AI technologies, the scale and intensity of information threats to democracy are accelerating.

Hear from Professor Martin Innes, Co-Director of the Institute about their work to uncover foreign state interference in elections and to tackle the impact of manipulated information on our societies.
