Abstract: Informational disorders are the most critical global risks for private companies, governments, academia, and civil society in the next two years. Numerous misinformation campaigns have spread on social networks during recent international events, such as the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris or the 2024 Presidential Elections in the US. During this seminar, we will address this critical and highly current topic through the dual role of Artificial Intelligence in Informational Disorders, contributing on one side to the spread of misinformation and, on the other side, to the development of AI-based solutions and sources of countermeasures to combat the phenomenon.
