Mis- and disinformation increasingly pose a threat to democratic public spheres by undermining trust in media and institutions. The <a href=\"https:\/\/leibniz-hbi.de\/hbi-publications\/einfluss-von-informationsoekosystemen\/\">report of the International Observatory on Information and Democracy<\/a> shows that monopolistic tech companies create incentives for the dissemination of manipulative content through data-driven business models. Algorithmic reinforcement mechanisms favor affective polarization, while transparency and regulation often remain inadequate. Artificial intelligence has an ambivalent effect: on the one hand, it reinforces disinformation dynamics, but on the other hand, it also offers tools for detecting and combating false content.<\/p>\n<p>The event &#8220;<span lang=\"de\">Informations\u00f6kosysteme und Demokratie in der Krise<\/span>&#8221; [Informational Ecosystems and Troubled Democracy] will be held in German.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":15,"featured_media":4203,"template":"","tags":[],"class_list":["post-5356","hbi-events","type-hbi-events","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v27.4 (Yoast SEO v27.4) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Informational Ecosystems and Troubled Democracy - Leibniz Institut f\u00fcr Medienforschung | Leibniz Institute for Media Research<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/leibniz-hbi.de\/en\/hbi-events\/informational-ecosystems-and-troubled-democracy\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Informational Ecosystems and Troubled Democracy\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Prof. Dr. Matthias Kettemann has been invited by the Association for Media Education and Communication Culture (GMK) to speak about the role of mis- and disinformation in the age of artificial intelligence.
