The Three Horsemen Of Cyber Risks: Misinformation, Disinformation And Fake News | Redefining Society With Dr Pythagoras Petratos, Economist And Political Scientist At UK’s Coventry University

This podcast was inspired by an article titled: The three horsemen of cyber risks: misinformation, disinformation and fake news. Our guest, Dr. Pythagoras Petratos, from Coventry University, explains how the risks associated with misleading information can profoundly negatively impact our society and businesses.

This conversation discusses how misleading information has emerged as one of the top cyber risks in our society, affecting political leaders, nations, and people’s lives; the COVID-19 pandemic has only made it worse.

Looking at businesses, in particular, we can see what Dr. Petratos calls “Industry 4.0,” which has brought about a metamorphosis in the world of business. In short, this can be defined as the integration of physical, biological, and digital systems under one roof.

A level of complexity far beyond what we are used to.

Join us as we discuss how misinformation and disinformation originate and spread and what the solutions to this significant societal problem can be addressed by the joined intent and actions of governments, businesses, media outlets, and educational systems.

What is the role of technology in this? Can it help with the issue?

The answer is yes, with MORE technology… and maybe some pizza too!?

Listen up; it will all make sense.
