Foreign influence, cyberspace, and geopolitics

Thanks to advancing technology like artificial intelligence and deep fakes, governments can increasingly use the online world to spread misinformation and influence foreign citizens and governments - as well as citizens at home. At the same time, governments and private companies are working hard to detect these campaigns and protect against them while upholding ideals like free speech and privacy. 

In season 2, episode 3 of Patching the System, we're focusing on the international system of bringing peace and security online. In this episode, we look at the world of foreign influence operations and how policymakers are adapting. 

Our participants are:

• Teija Tiilikainen, Director of the European Center of Excellence for Countering Hybrid Threats
• Clint Watts, General Manager of the Microsoft Threat Analysis Center 
• Ali Wyne, Eurasia Group Senior Analyst (moderator)
