⚡Control to chaos: The evolution of state disinformation strategies
What is Covid-19 teaching us about our information ecosystem?
Hi,
I invited Nina Schick this week to give EV members her insights into the history and the future of state disinformation strategies.
Nina is is a broadcaster and author specialising in how technology is reshaping politics. She has worked on the frontline of major political events, including the EU refugee crisis; Brexit; Emmanuel Macron's Presidential campaign; and, the evolution of election interference and disinformation since 2013. Nina has advised a group of global leaders including Joe Biden, the former Vice President of the United States; and Anders Fogh Rasmussen, the former Secretary-General of NATO, on deepfakes.
In her latest book, Deepfakes and the Infocalypse, Nina argues that our corroding information ecosystem represents an existential threat to Western democracies as well as a critical civil liberties issue for private citizens. She believes that it can only be countered with society-wide mobilisation to shore up the integrity of our information ecosystem.
To thank Ni…
