Mykola Makhortykh and Victoria Vziatysheva about AI and Mis- and Disinformation
Monday, 2 February, 2026

As AI-generated text, images, and videos become increasingly difficult to distinguish from reality, how can we trust the information we encounter online? In this episode, researchers Mykola Makhortykh and Victoria Vziatysheva from the University of Bern explore how AI tools are reshaping the misinformation landscape. We discuss what makes digital-era mis- and disinformation distinct from earlier media environments, why chatbots can appear highly reliable while still spreading partial or misleading information,who should be held accountable when AI systems disseminate false or deceptiv content, and what global governance can look like in a world where risks and resources are unevenly distributed.
