Disinformation: Analysis and research

Our experts explore and provide insights into disinformation, fake news, and propaganda in the digital age.

The digital age has created huge interest in disinformation, propaganda and ‘fake news’, but these have long been well-known tactics for political influence.

There is a growing consensus that the digital revolution has greatly enhanced public vulnerability to manipulation by information, and that action needs to be taken to counter it. The rapid development of artificial intelligence (AI) has accelerated this discussion, as it becomes harder for the public to trust information. 

Policymakers are under huge pressure to implement better control, accountability, and regulation of technology and address gaps in understanding about how disinformation travels across boundaries of time, platform, language, and culture.
