Democracy in the Age of Disinformation:

Challenges and Potential Solutions

This election year, we are all keenly aware of how our reliance on digital communication has fostered an environment where misinformation and disinformation thrive, posing significant challenges to the foundations of our democratic society.

Join us as Dr. Joshua Garland addresses how these deceptive practices undermine democratic values and how the growing use of generative AI further amplifies the challenges to democratic stability. Dr. Garland will suggest specific strategies useful to foster a well-informed democratic dialogue in today’s digital landscape.

Dr. Joshua Garland is the Interim Director of and an Associate Research Professor at the Global Security Initiative’s Center on Narrative, Disinformation and Strategic Influence at Arizona State University. Joshua’s research aims to understand complex systems and the fascinating intersections of AI, global politics, social media, disinformation, and strategic influence.

Join us for an informative evening with Dr. Joshua Garland.
