Online event: How Can We Build Resilience Against Disinformation in the Deepfake Era?

Disinformation is no longer just foreign or fringe – it’s local, AI-powered and reshaping European politics from within.

Join us on 29 July at 3:00 PM CEST for a subscriber-only expert discussion on how the EU and its member states can respond to a new era of information warfare – one that is AI-driven, hyper-local and often rooted in domestic political dynamics.

In 2024, 86% of people worldwide encountered disinformation, much of it AI-generated and disturbingly credible. But this threat is no longer just digital noise. It’s gone local – from fake videos in Romania’s elections to influencer-led propaganda in Hungary and Slovakia, democracies are being destabilised not only from abroad, but from within.

This conversation builds on a forthcoming policy brief by Alina Inayeh, examining the growing overlap between foreign and domestic disinformation, and the urgent need for smarter legal, technological and institutional defences across Europe.

Alina Inayeh – Visegrad Insight Fellow. She is currently a non-resident fellow with German Marshall Fund and the lead advisor for Aspen Institute Romania. She joined GMF in 2007 as the director of the Black Sea Trust for Regional Cooperation, a project dedicated to strengthening cooperation and fostering development in the Black Sea region.

Alice Stollmeyer – Founder & Executive Director of Defend Democracy, a nonpartisan NGO defending democracy from foreign, domestic and technological threats.
