In Noise We Trust? AI, Disinformation, and Democracy across Europe | METACOG

3 people in an abstract news and information overload in EU

Webinar

30.10.

14:00 - 15:00

In this webinar METACOG experts examine how disinformation operates, how AI is both fuelling and helping counter it, and what fact-checking looks like in practice when civic information is at stake across different European (or global) contexts.

In an era of AI-generated content and accelerating information disorder, the line between reliable information and manufactured noise has never been harder to draw. Join us for European perspectives and a conversation about what information integrity means today.
