The Cognitive Frontline: AI, FIMI, and the Future of Strategic Communications

As the digital landscape rapidly evolves, traditional concepts of disinformation are being replaced by the broader threat of Foreign Information Manipulation and Interference (FIMI), which shifts the focus from simple fact-checking to analyzing deceptive behaviors and cognitive warfare. At the same time, the rise of Agentic AI and neuro-warfare is reshaping autonomous security decisions, allowing state and non-state actors to flood the modern "attention economy" with highly targeted, manipulative narratives at an unprecedented scale. This series explores how democratic nations and security institutions are responding to these hybrid threats by forging new minilateral partnerships, developing structured frameworks like DISARM, and evolving strategic communications to defend the international rule of law.   Sponsors: www.myprivacy.blog www.scamwatchhq.com
