“Disinformation campaigns amplify polarisation, delegitimise media institutions, and exploit social divisions to weaken democratic cohesion.”
All human history moves in cycles, and there’s an inevitable counter-movement when forces peak and then weaken. The far-right & authoritarians are having their day in the sun now, but historically they’ve always ultimately failed, while a new progressive cycle starts, and I doubt this time will be any different.
Which raises the question, if far-right & authoritarians are the main users of AI/social media disinformation now, won’t the thing that eventually beats AI/social media disinformation come from the left/progressive side? Does logic suggest that it is likely? If so, what will that solution be, and when will it arrive?
