AI Amplifies Risks of Digital Disinformation, Cybersecurity Expert Warns

Dr. Mohamed El-Gendy, an international expert in cybersecurity and information technology, warned that digital disinformation targets public awareness, with artificial intelligence magnifying its risks.

El-Gendy highlighted rumours, the deliberate production of misleading information and the engineering of influence as key concerns in the digital sphere.

His warning framed disinformation as an effort to shape people’s understanding, rather than simply a problem of inaccurate material circulating online.

Artificial intelligence adds to that danger, he cautioned, amplifying the risks associated with misleading content and attempts to influence public perceptions.
