Investigating the impact of emerging digital technologies on security and society
Disinfoscope is a project investigating the impact of emerging digital technologies on security and society. We combine data-driven research and policy analysis to understand how digital architecture and algorithms shape global vulnerabilities.
Purpose To make the societal impact of digital technologies measurable, supporting evidence-based public policies and digital literacy.
Mission To investigate how digital ecosystems and algorithms create vulnerabilities for states and societies, translating technical complexity into clear analysis and actionable knowledge for policy formulation.
We examine how generative AI, algorithmic amplification, and automated manipulation affect the integrity of information ecosystems and fuel the spread of information disorder.
We analyze the risks tied to digital sovereignty. This includes researching the security and social impacts of critical infrastructure control.
We evaluate policy responses to emerging digital technologies. This includes translating technical vulnerabilities into empirical data to help shape policies and regulation, with a focus on comparative legal frameworks.
Structure
Academic research, data-driven reports, and policy analysis. We apply quantitative, qualitative and experimental methodologies, leveraging data science tools to analyze digital phenomena.
Podcast, interviews, and discussions. The DisinfoScope Podcast brings together international researchers, policymakers, and cybersecurity professionals to debate the impact of emerging digital technologies on security and society.
Translating research into action. We bridge academic findings with practical knowledge to build digital resilience across society. Our initiatives focus on explaining core concepts, providing digital literacy, and engaging with students and institutions through educational outreach.
