How to Fight Disinformation in an AI-driven World?

Chief of Strategy • Cyber Peace Institute

Cyber is about people and a peaceful cyberspace is one that improves lives. With an International Law and Human Rights background, I have 15+ years’ experience in working for international organizations(United Nations, World Economic Forum, CyberPeace Institute) on strategy and partnerships development, action-oriented research, technical assistance and capacity building in international justice, human rights and security. I have developed my expertise on countering and preventing cybercrime and misuse of technology, focusing on opportunities, risks and threats created by new technologies. I have a long standing expertise on leading programs to foster cybersecurity, increase cyber resilience and promote cyberpeace. We have been working hard in making our societies more resilient. We need now to make them "anti-fragile". At the Institute, I am leading the strategic engagement in programs and initiatives leveraging multistakeholder cooperation and partnerships (with civil society, academia, corporates, philanthropy and public institutions) to strengthen cyber resilience and secure digital transformation, to reduce the harms from cyberattacks and disinformation, to anticipate the challenges posed by AI and emerging technology, and to promote sustainable cyberpeace. It is a shared responsibility.
