The growing threat of AI disinformation and digital influence
Information has always been a tool of power, but artificial intelligence has changed its scale and speed. Today, entire narratives can be manufactured within hours, complete with realistic faces, synthetic voices, and manipulated videos. These AI-generated materials spread faster than traditional fact-checking can respond, influencing public opinion and even national security decisions.
The danger lies not only in fake news but in trust erosion. When citizens can no longer distinguish between truth and fabrication, institutions lose credibility. This environment opens the door to manipulation during elections, economic negotiations, or international crises. Disinformation campaigns are now as strategic as cyberattacks, often used together to destabilize societies or distract from other operations.
Governments are starting to treat digital influence operations as security threats. The EU, for instance, has introduced new digital resilience frameworks. Intelligence agencies are investing in tools that detect synthetic media and trace coordinated online behavior. Yet, the response remains fragmented, and many private organizations still underestimate the scale of the risk.
