2024 is set to be the biggest election year in history, with more than 4 billion people being asked to cast their votes, and AI-driven disinformation campaigns will be pervasive. Threat actors will exploit these events to manipulate public opinion on a global scale, posing significant challenges to election integrity and global stability.

Powered by the speed and scale of the internet, disinformation operations have weaponized social media platforms and fractured the information environment to sow discord and undermine trust. It is no secret that we live in an increasingly fractured and polarised world, where acceptance of the existence of “alternative facts” is now mainstream.

This session will examine the current state of disinformation operations and how their capabilities and reach will be significantly enhanced and accelerated through application of Artificial Intelligence. We will also present strategies for individuals, organisations and governments to begin to combat on this new frontier.
