An interview published on November 12, 2025 by Antidisinfo.net was republished under a content-sharing agreement with Global Voices and Metamorphosis Foundation. Laura Jasper of the Hague Centre for Strategic Studies (HCSS) described how generative AI changes foreign interference.
Jasper said the biggest changes are speed, scale and personalization. Disinformation can spread faster, reach many people, and be tailored to groups. Finding who is responsible is often a matter of probability. Analysts should give confidence levels (low, medium or high) and show the evidence behind their judgements.
Jasper warned that hostile actors use commercial platforms and exploit social trust fractures. To measure success, analysts must look for real behaviour changes and use clear baselines. She recommended combining polling and records with interviews and focus groups, and called for wide local engagement rather than only top-level responses.
