On 14 December 2023, the Lisbon Council convened an expert webinar on artificial intelligence (AI) and disinformation. The expert webinar was convened within FERMI, a 3-year, 17-partner consortium supported by the Horizon Europe programme which sets out to develop tools that enable law enforcement agencies and society at large to prevent disinformation-induced, real-life crimes while safeguarding users and citizens’ privacy.

At this expert webinar, AI and disinformation experts Beth Lambert, head of policy and strategic accounts at Logically AI, and Siim Kumpas, policy officer at the East StratCom Task Force of the European External Action Service, discussed the role of AI in the fight against disinformation together with assistant professor of criminology at Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore and researcher at Transcrime in Milan, Alberto Aziani.
