European Parliament Warns of AI Threat to Global Democratic Values and Human Rights

Published on 4.5.25

  The increasing use of artificial intelligence (AI) is raising concerns about its impact on democracy and human rights globally. The European Parliament has urged the Commission to activate a blocking statute to address these issues, citing restrictions on political freedom and the decline of women's rights in conflicts. In this context, AI-powered disinformation threat mitigation platforms like Brinker are being developed to detect and neutralize malicious narratives and influence campaigns. Founded by Benny Schnaider, Daniel Ravner, and Oded Breiner, Brinker uses proprietary narrative intelligence technology to provide active influence mitigation. Vanessa Lloyd, CSIS deputy director of operations, warned that hostile state actors are increasingly using AI to meddle in elections, potentially eroding public trust in democratic processes. The warning highlights the need for vigilance in protecting democracy from AI-enabled interference.
