The Horizon Audiofiles - Ep 074 - How AI Can Help Build Up Societal Resilience Against Disinformation

Disinformation, amplified by algorithms and AI, undermines trust
in institutions and fuels social polarisation. While major
disinformation campaigns exist, their real impact on opinion
formation and democratic processes remains empirically uncertain.
The greater danger lies in the exaggerated perception of
disinformation’s power, which, in turn, erodes public trust.
Comparative studies reveal that low media and digital literacy
correlate strongly with societal vulnerability to false
information. Effective responses thus require realism rather than
panic: promoting critical thinking, media and AI literacy, and
transparent digital governance. Ultimately, combating
disinformation means strengthening trust, not amplifying fear.
