In 2025, disinformation stopped being a distant threat and became an everyday reality across Europe. From AI-driven influence operations to real-world sabotage, this episode of Anatomy of Disinformation examines how information warfare evolved and why it became impossible to ignore.
Maia Mazurkiewicz speaks with Andrea Baronchelli, Professor of Complexity Science at City St George’s, University of London, about the rise of autonomous AI agents, manufactured consensus, and personalized persuasion that increasingly blurs the line between humans and bots online.
The episode also reviews Russia’s most aggressive influence operations of 2025 from drone incursions and election interference to Telegram-based recruitment networks and railway sabotage across Central Europe.
Looking ahead to 2026, Filip Głowacz, former military intelligence officer and FIMI OSINT expert, explains why disinformation tactics are becoming cheaper, faster, and harder to detect, and why education and critical thinking may now be Europe’s strongest line of defense.
