Event

AI and disinformation

This event hosted by UK think tank the Henry Jackson Society discusses how democracies can counter AI-driven information warfare without undermining their freedoms.

As artificial intelligence transforms the information environment, the threat of AI-driven disinformation is becoming harder to ignore. From deepfakes to algorithmically amplified falsehoods, these technologies are reshaping how information is produced, consumed, and trusted. While AI offers significant benefits, it also enables hostile actors to spread manipulation at unprecedented scale and speed.

Join the Henry Jackson Society for the launch of a new report exploring how AI is accelerating the disinformation crisis and what governments, technology companies, and democratic societies can do in response. The report examines evolving disinformation tactics, the growing role of synthetic media in political and social manipulation, and the risks posed by widely accessible AI systems. It also sets out policy recommendations to protect democratic discourse, including greater transparency, institutional safeguards, and expanded media literacy education in the UK.

The discussion will address a defining challenge of the coming decade: how democracies can counter AI-driven information warfare without undermining the freedoms they seek to defend.
